System Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics Rackview Switch, a 1x8 DVI
USB KVM switch integrated with a 17” or 19” RackView. This combination
of a KVM rack drawer and our 1x8 DVI USB KVM switch makes it ideal for
controlling up to 8 DVI computers from a single KVM station all mounted in a
19” rack. Switching to a specific CPU port can be easily done by keyboard
commands or the push of a button conveniently located above the
keyboard. Either method instantly switches the video, keyboard and mouse
control of the connected computer.

In addition to switching and controlling a computer, the computer’s audio
can also be switched. A unique feature of the 1x8 DVI USB KVM switch is
that the audio can be either switched with the video or not switched. The
advantage is that, for example, you can have the audio from CPU #1 playing
while viewing and controlling CPU #5.

This binding and unbinding feature also applies to the 2 port USB hub. You
can be printing a document from PC #1 while vie win g and co ntrol li ng
PC #4. The keyboard commands to bind and unbind the audio and USB
hub are explained in Table 1.

Installing the unit is a plug-and-play function. The default settings are
appropriate for most systems. Simply power on the unit, optionally connect
the user station’s monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, speakers,
microphone, and shared USB devices to the 1x8 switch. Connect 1-8
computers to the PC ports on the unit and power up the computers one by
one. When everything is powered up, you can begin operating the
Rackview Switch.

INSTALLATION

1 – 8 Computers
with DVI
USB keyboard,
USB mouse, Audio
& Microphone

The first installation procedure is to strategically install the unit in a 19” rack
so all CPU connection cables do not exceed the recommended cable
lengths. The recommended max DVI-I cable length is 16 feet (5 meters);
USB max cable length is 13 feet (4 meters). If longer cable lengths are
needed, Rose Electronics has a range of DVI and USB extenders that can
extend the DVI/USB cable lengths up to 400ft (140m) over CATx cable.
Fiber versions are also available which w ill ex ten d to a m uch greater
distance.

To properly mount the unit in a 19” rack, please refer to APP ENDIX C for a
detailed procedure. For safety reasons, it is recommended that the rack
installation be performed by at least two people, although one person can
install the Rackview Switch.

Figure 1 shows the basic installation of the 1x8 DVI switch. It is
recommended that power on all equipment be powered off.

Figure 1. Basic Installation

Installation and Opera tio ns Manu al 5

The default settings for the unit are appropriate for most systems and no
initial configuration is needed. When the unit is securely installed in a
19” rack you can start connecting the computers, USB devices,
speakers, and microphone. Please observe proper strain relief
techniques to reduce the stress on the connectors.

It is recommended that the following installation process be followed to
assure the switch properly recognizes the connected computers,
keyboard, and mouse types.

Step 1 - Connect the power adapter to the power connector on the rear

panel of the switch (110 – 240 VAC to +12VDC adapter) and
apply power to the switch.

Step 2 - Optionally connect a USB keyboard, USB mouse, DVI monitor,

a speaker set, microphone and the shared USB devices to the
corresponding connectors on the rear panel.
(Optional local keyboard and mouse have limited functionality)

Step 3 - Connect each computer’s video to the switch using a DVI-I

(Male-Male) video cable.
Connect a USB cable (Type A - Type B) from each computer’s
USB Type A connector to the switches Type B connector for
each of the computers being connected.
Using standard stereo audio cables (3.5mm MM cables),
connect the audio and microphone outputs from the computers
to the corresponding connectors on the rear panel.

Step 4 - Turn on the locally connected monitor (if connected) and the

RackView Switch monitor.

Step 5 - Press PC button #1 located between the RackView’s keyboard

and monitor to connect to PC port #1 and power up computer
#1. You should see the boot-up sequence on the RackView’s
monitor and on the locally connected monitor. Verify that there
is keyboard and mouse control for computer #1 before
proceeding.

Final - Press PC button #2 to connect to PC port #2 and power up

computer #2. Verify that the keyboard and mouse now control
computer #2. Repeat this process for each of the connected
computers.

After all computers are powered up and operating, the keyboard and
mouse well be recognized and you can now fully operate the KVM
switch.

NOTE: If you need to connect a computer with an analog vid eo port,
(HD15) to the KVM switch, a VGA to DVI converter must be used.

System Operation

Operating the system can be done by using the PC push buttons or by
hotkey commands from the RackView Switch keyboard.

The USB and audio features of the switch can be jointly switched when you
switch computer ports or can be switched independently. Using hotkey
commands, you can bind the audio and/or USB to the video or un-bind them
and switch the audio and USB functions separately.

(See Table 2 for Hotkey and push-button functions)

CPU push buttons

HotKey switching

Hotkey switching and control should only be performed using the RackView
Switch keyboard. The local console keyboard should not be used for
entering Hotkey commands.

A hotkey keyboard command consists of three specific keystrokes:
1 2 3
HOTKEY = [ScrLk]* + [ScrLk]* + Command (Default)
(*Press and release the ScrLk key twice)
* The hotkey can be modified to use the following user-defined keys:

 Scroll Lock
 Caps Lock
 Esc
 F12
 Num Lock

To modify the hotkey enter [ScrLk] + [ScrLk] + H + K
where K = the Scroll Lock, Caps Lock, ESC, F12 or Num Lock key.

computer rack. Extension brackets are included that can be added to fit
in computer racks 32.5” – 39.4” deep.

Rack cabinet installation (Note: left and right brackets are different)

1. Loosen the four screws on the rear of each bracket.
This allows the rear portion of the bracket to slide in and out.
(Do Not fully remove the four screws)

2. Position the brackets in the computer rack at the desired
height. Slide the rear of the bracket to fit the depth of
the rack and secure the front and rear bracket ears to the rack.

3. Tighten the four screws that were loosened in #1
Repeat this procedure for the other side. Make sure the brackets
are positioned at the same height on the right and left side of the
computer rack

the unit into the mounted brackets. It is recommended that two
people install the unit into the mounted brackets. The unit will not
slide to the end of the rack due to the locking mechanism. Unlock
the drawer

5. On each side of the unit there is a rail-lock switch. Pull th e left and
right rail-lock switches towards the front of the rack and push the
unit until it reaches the rear of the computer rack.

6. Position the brackets in the computer rack at the desired
height. Slide the rear of the bracket to fit the depth of
the rack and secure the front and rear bracket ears to the rack.

Extension Rail Installation

To mount the Unit in a computer rack that is 32.6” – 39.4” deep, the
extension rails must be installed. To install the extension rails:

1. First remove the six mounting screws that secure the short rail
bracket.

2. Remove the short rail brackets from the rack rail (each side)

3. Install the longer extension rails and adjust the length to fit the
computer rack

4. Secure the extension rail to the rack rail with 2 or 3 screws. Using 1
screw will not support the rail extension properly. Use at least 2
screws to secure the extension rail.

5. Install the rack rail with the extensions brackets installed to the rack.
