4.1 Rackmounting Guidelines

Ambient Operating Temperature

The ambient operating temperature in the rack may be an issue and is dependent upon the rack load and ventilation. When installing in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, make sure that the temperature will not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature.

Airflow

Ensure that the airflow within the rack is not compromised.

Circuit Overloading

When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.

Reliable grounding of rackmounted equipment should be maintained.

To protect against circuit overloading, you should connect your NetDirector Console KVM and attached computers/servers to a Tripp Lite SmartPro® or SmartOnline™ UPS System.

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.

Standard Rackmounting

The standard rackmounting brackets that come attached to the KVM Switch allow the unit to be installed in standard 1U racks by a single individual.

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 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.

4.4 Single-Station Installation

1. Ensure that power to all the devices to be connected has been turned off.

2. On a B022-016 KVM, connect the Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor cables to the console ports on the KVM.*

3. Use the correct Tripp Lite KVM cable kits (as described in the Cables section on page 4), to connect a computer’s Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports to any available port on the KVM switch.

4. Plug the power cord or power adapter cable into the KVM’s power jack, then plug into a UPS, surge or other AC power source.

5. Turn on the power to the computers.

*NetDirector Console KVM Switches only need to perform this step if they are connecting to an external console.

4.5 Multiple Station (Daisy-Chained) Installation

To control even more computers, up to 31 B022-016 or B022-U16 KVM Switches can be daisy-chained down from the First Station.

Note: As many as 512 computers can be controlled from the unit’s integrated console in a complete installation.

To set up a daisy-chained installation:

1. Ensure that power to all the devices to be connected has been turned off.

2. Use a daisy-chain cable (described in the Cables section, page 4) to connect the Chain Out port of the parent unit to the Chain In port of the child unit.

3. Use a KVM cable kit (described in the Cables section, page 4) to connect the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports of a computer to any available port on the KVM switch.

4. Repeat the above steps for any additional KVM Switches you wish to add to the chain.

5. Power up the installation according to the following procedure: a. Plug in the power adapter for the First Station. Wait a few

seconds to allow the unit to determine its Station ID.

b. Plug in the power adapters for each subsequent Station in

the installation in turn (ie. Second Station, then Third Station, etc.). Each B022-016 and B022-U16 KVM Switch has an LED display on its front panel to indicate its Station ID (the Station ID for the First Station is 01, the ID for the Second Station is 02, the ID for the Third Station is 03, etc.).

4.6 Hot Plugging

All KVM Switches support hot plugging—components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without having to shut the switch down. However, in order for Hot Plugging to work properly, these procedures must be followed:

Switching Station Positions

Switch station positions by simply unplugging the daisy-chain cable from the old parent and plugging into a new one. After you do, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must reset the station IDs via the OSD. See page 20 for details.

Note: This will update the station ID, but will require all individual port settings to be redone manually, except for the port names.

Hot Plugging CPU Ports

Switch CPU ports by unplugging the KVM cable kit and replugging into the desired port. In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change made, you must manually reconfigure the OSD information for the new Port. See the F3 SET (page 18) and F4 ADM (page 19), functions for details.

Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging, this function may not work properly.

Hot Plugging Console Ports

Keyboard, monitor, and mouse can all be hot plugged. When hot plugging the mouse:

1. You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse, for example), as long as you use the same mouse.

2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on the installation must be

shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted using the Power Up Sequence described on page 6.

Note: If, after hot plugging (or at any other time), there is no response to keyboard and/or mouse input, perform a Keyboard and Mouse Reset by pressing in the Reset switch (see page 6).

5. Basic Operation

5.1 Opening the NetDirector Console KVM

The console is located under the top cover. To access the console, slide the console module out and raise the cover.

Note: As a safety precaution, to keep the console from accidentally sliding out, the console is locked into the In position. Before you can pull the console module out, you must release it by pushing the catches on the unit’s front panel toward the center of the switch.

6.4 Port ID Numbering

Each CPU port in an installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:

• The Station Number is a two-digit number that identifies the switch’s position in the daisy chain

sequence. This corresponds to the number displayed on the front panel Station ID LED.

• The Port Number is a two-digit number which identifies the port number that the computer is

connected to.

• The Station Number precedes the Port Number.

• Station and Port numbers are always 2 digits, so 1 - 9 becomes 01 - 09. Eg., a computer attached to

Port 7 of Station 15 has a Port ID of 15-07.

6.5 Selecting the Active Port

You can directly access a port by doing the following:

Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] combination

1) Enter the Port ID The Port ID numbers appear on the Command Line as they are entered. To correct a mistake, use

[Backspace] to erase the wrong number.

2) Press [Enter] Once [Enter] has been pressed, the KVM switches to the designated computer and you automatically

exit the Hotkey Mode.

6.6 Auto Scanning

When in the Auto Scan mode, the KVM automatically sequences through all the active CPU Ports that are accessible to the currently logged on User (see Scan/Skip Mode of the OSD F3 SET menu, page 18).

6.7 Setting the Scan Interval

The amount of time the KVM remains on each port during Auto Scan is set using the Scan Duration setting in the OSD’s F3 SET menu (see page 18). The scan interval defaults at 5 seconds. The scan interval can be changed prior to activating Hotkey Auto Scanning by performing the following:

1) Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] combination

2) Key in [T] [n] [T] is the letter T, and [n] is a number from 1-255 that represents the number of seconds for the scan

interval. The letter T and the numbers display on the Command Line as you key them in. To correct a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.

3) Press [Enter] After you press [Enter], the scan interval is set to the time frame entered.

7. OSD (On-Screen Display) Operation

7.1 OSD Overview

The On Screen Display (OSD) is used for all computer control and switching procedures. All procedures start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, hold down the [Fn] key and tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.

Note: You can change the Hotkey from the [Scroll Lock] key to the [Ctrl] key (see OSD Hotkey, page 18. In this case you tap the [Ctrl] key twice. The same [Ctrl] keys must be used (ie. both the left and the right).

The OSD uses a two-level (Administrator / User) password system. Before the OSD Main Screen appears, a dialog box asks for your password. If the password function has been set, a password must be entered in order to access the system.

If this is the first time that the OSD is being run, or if the password function has not been set, simply press [Enter] to proceed. The OSD Main Screen comes up in Administrator Mode. In this mode, you have administrator privileges, with access to all Administrator and User functions. In addition, you can set up operations including password authorization for the future.

Choices are Y (for Yes), or N (for No). When activated, the beeper sounds whenever a port is changed; the Auto Scan function is activated (see F7 SCAN, page 21); an invalid entry is made on an OSD menu; the default is Y (activated).

Allows the Administrator to select which Ports are to be Quick View ports. To select/deselect a port as a Quick View Port, double-click the desired port, or use the Navigation Keys to move the highlight bar to it, then Press [Enter].

An arrow is displayed in the QV column on the Main Screen to indicate that a port has been selected as a Quick View Port. The arrow disappears when a port is deselected. If one of the Quick View options is chosen for the LIST view (see F2 LIST, page 17), only a Port that has been selected here will display on the List.

If one of the Quick View options is chosen for Auto Scanning (see SCAN/SKIP MODE, page 14), only a Port that has been selected here will be Auto Scanned. The default is for no ports to be selected.
