4.1 Pre-Installation Safety Instructions
Read all of these instructions and save them for future reference.
General Safety Instructions
•Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the device.
•Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If the device falls, serious damage will result.
•Do not use the device near water.
•Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers.
•The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation, and to protect against overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.
•The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be placed in a built in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.
•Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
•Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
•The device should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power company.
•The device is designed for IT power distribution systems with up to 230V phase-to-phase voltage.
•To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are properly grounded.
•The device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician. Do not attempt to defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug. Always follow your local/national wiring codes.
•Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
•If an extension cord is used with this device make sure that the total of the ampere ratings of all products used on this cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.
•To protect against circuit overloading, you should plug your KVM switch and connected computers into a Tripp Lite SmartPro® or SmartOnline™ UPS System.
•Position system cables and power cables carefully, making sure that nothing rests on any cables.
•Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

4. Installation
4.1Pre-Installation Safety Instructions (continued)
•If the following conditions occur, unplug the device from the wall outlet and bring it to qualified service personnel for repair:
• The power cord or plug has become damaged or frayed.
• Liquid has been spilled into the device.
• The device has been exposed to rain or water.
• The device has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
• The device exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• The device does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.
•Only adjust those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage that will require extensive work by a qualified technician to repair.
•Do not connect the RJ-11 connector marked “UPGRADE” to a public telecommunication network.
•Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Rack Mounting Safety Instructions
•Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
•Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
•Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.
•Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
•After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
•Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
•The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
•Make sure that all equipment used on the rack (including power strips and other electrical connectors) is properly grounded.
•Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
•Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the equipment by the manufacturer.
•Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack
4.2 Rackmounting Instructions for Console KVMs
The NetDirector Console KVM Switch is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. For convenience, a rack mounting kit is included with your KVM for quick installation. The various mounting options are explained in the sections that follow:
Note:
1.It is recommended that the unit be installed by two people; one to hold it in place and the other to attach it to the rack.
2.The rackmounting kit that comes with the unit does not include screws or cage nuts. Contact your rack dealer for this hardware.
3.Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for proper ventilation, and at least 12.7 cm at the rear of the unit for the power cord and cable kits.
Standard Rackmounting |
|
Slide out the rear mounting brackets from the console and |
|
mount both brackets (separate from the console) to the inside |
|
rear of a standard 1U rack system using user-supplied screws. |
|
Take the console and gently slide it into the two rear-mounted |
|
brackets in the rack and secure the console in place by |
1 |

2-Post Rackmounting
The NetDirector Console KVM Switch can also be mounted in a 2-post rack installation using the optional 2-Post Rackmount Kit (model: B019-000). The mounting hardware allows for the console to be opened with the drawer in any position. Heavy-duty 14-gauge steel provides stability and prevents the console frame from twisting. See the B019-000 instructional manual for detailed mounting instructions.
