Installation
Please refer to the installation procedures in the CrystalView manual
for your model. A detailed installation procedure for your model is
outlined in the CrystalView manual. A remote unit is needed for each
module used. The cable length jumpers on the remote unit must be set
for each unit according to the jumper-setting table in the manual. For
CAT5 cable distances less than 150 feet, the CrystalView MINI remote
unit can be used.

The above diagram shows the versatility of the CrystalView CAT5 rack.
The CrystalView CAT5 Rack can connect to standalone computers or
KVM switches using the appropriate cables. KVM stations connected
to a CrystalView remote unit can be up to 1000 feet (150 feet using a
CrystalView MINI remote unit) from the CrystalView CAT5 rack. A
remote CrystalView unit is needed for each module used in the
CrystalView CAT5 rack.
Any of the CrystalView CAT5 rack models can use the same type of
connections shown above. The serial/audio model can take advantage
of routing the remote CPUs serial and audio data to the local KVM
station.

Rack mount instructions
To rack mount your CrystalView, attach the two rack mounting brackets
on your Unit to the rack using the appropriate size bolts, nuts and lock
washers.
The following guidelines should be observed when installing.
a). Do not exceed the operating temperature of 0
b). Do not block power supply vents or restrict airflow.
c). Mechanical loading of the rack should be considered to prevent
instability and possible tipping over.
d). Tighten all connectors securely and provide adequate strain relief
for all cables.
e). Provide a grounded power source to all Units. Pay special
attention to overall branch circuit load ratings before connecting
equipment to this source. Overloaded circuits are potential fire
hazards and can cause equipment failures or poor performance.
