3. Installation

3.1 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
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

1

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.

2

Take the console and gently slide it into

the two rear-mounted brackets in the rack
and secure the console in place by
inserting user-supplied screws.

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.
