1. THE T-4200 MODULAR CHASSIS

The Logical Solution: Modular KVM Extension / DVI and SDI Support in One Unit

The VelocityKVM line of extenders continues to evolve and add value with exciting new capabilities. The
VelocityKVM T-4200 Chassis is a high reliability, rack-space-saving solution housing the same
capabilities in a 1U chassis that used to require 2U. Featuring a dual interface and current sharing power
supplies, each 1U chassis supports two separate interface modules, allowing users to combine module
options within one chassis.

Available modules support a variety of video display options and all modules support PS2, full duplex
stereo audio, stereo emitter, serial (RS-232), USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps) and/or USB 1.0 HID.

Using multi-mode or single-mode fiber, the system allows users to securely locate a display device and
peripherals up to 40 kilometers away from the controlling computer without loss of resolution.

In addition, all high-speed peripherals function with no latency, making it ideally suited for a wide range
of applications in the broadcast and post-production field, command and control centers, universities, air
traffic control, energy production and exploration, and most other commercial KVM applications.

1.3 HARDWARE

1.3.1 Physical Connections

All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors. Non-supplied cables are
commercially available. All connections are found on the rear of the unit.

1.3.2 Desktop or Rack Mount

You may choose to place your chassis on a shelf or desktop (rubber feet included), or rack-mount it
using the supplied mounting brackets (EIA 19” rack mountable).

See FIGURE 1, page 7, Mounting Bracket Removal.

 The front panel should be visible and unobstructed so that the front panel buttons and LCD

display are accessible.

 All connections are made to the rear of the chassis.

 The VelocityKVM Extender chassis does not need to be opened or accessed.

 The sturdy metal case allows units to be stacked as needed (maximum of 4 units per stack,

with a minimum of 2” clearance between stacks for adequate ventilation).

1.3.3 Cooling

The Velocity T-4200 Extender System uses four DC fans to move air horizontally through the enclosure.

Note: Be sure to leave adequate ventilation space on both sides of the units (2”
minimum), especially if the units are being stacked (maximum 4 units per stack).

1.3.4 Hot Swappable Power Supplies

Each chassis is equipped with dual, hot-swappable, current-sharing power supply modules. Each
module has an ON/OFF rocker power switch. When the power supply is ON the LED on the front of the
power supply will be lit.

If a power module fails, the replacement can be swapped with no interruption in unit functionality. To hot

swap a power supply, simply unscrew the module and replace it with a new power supply module.
(Power Modules can be ordered from Thinklogical: part number VTM-000001).
