1.1 Rack Mounting

The KVM switch can be mounted in a 19-in (1U) rack. The rack mount brackets can be installed on either the front or the back of the
unit so that it can be mounted to the front or back of the rack.

1. Depending on whether you front-rack mount or rear-rack mount the unit, remove the two screws located on both sides of the front or
back of the unit.

2. Use the screws supplied with the rack mount kit to attach the rack mount brackets to the front or rear of the unit.

3. Position the device in the front or rear of the rack and align the holes in the mount brackets with the holes in the rack.

4. Secure the rack mount brackets to the rack using user-supplied screws.

Use the M3x8 Phillips head hex screws

provided with the rack mount kit

Use user supplied

to the rack

1.2 Single-Stage Installation

In a single-stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded or daisy-chained from the B064-Series KVM. To set up a
single-stage installation, refer to the following instructions and the corresponding installation diagrams.

1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting, including all pre-existing devices on the installation, have been turned off.

2. Optional: Plug your Local Console’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the KVM’s Local Console Ports. You will need to connect the
included USB – PS/2 Console Cable Kit to the console port on the back of the unit.

Note: You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections. For example, you can use a PS/2 keyboard with a USB mouse.
USB keyboards and mice can plug into the USB ports on the front panel, as well as the ports on the USB – PS/2 Console Cable Kit. The
B064-Series KVM Switch does not suppor t distances above 65 ft between the K VM and the local monitor.

3. Use Cat5e cable to connect any available KVM port to a Server Interface Unit (SIU): B055-001-PS2 (PS/2), B055-001-SER (Serial),
B055-001-USB (USB) or B055-001-USB-V2 (USB withe Virtual Media).

4. Connect the Server Interface Unit to the
computer/server.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each computer/
server you are connecting.

6. Connect a Cat5e cable from the network
into the KVM switch’s primary network
port (LAN 1).

7. Optional: Connect a second Cat5e cable
from the network into the KVM switch’s
backup (secondary) network por t (LAN 2).

8. Optional Dial-In Modem Connection:
Use Cat5e cable to connect the KVM
switch’s Modem port to the included
RJ45 to DB9 Adapter, and connect the
adapter’s DB9 connector to the modem’s
DB9 port.

9. Use the included grounding wire to ground
the unit. Connect one end of the wire to
the grounding terminal, and the other end
of the wire to a suitable grounded object.

10. Plug the included power cords into the
KVM switch’s Power Sockets, and then
into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or
PDU.

11. Turn on the power to the KVM switch.
Once it is powered up, turn on the power
to the connected computers.

1.3 Two-Stage Installation

Up to 32 additional B064-016 KVM switches can be cascaded from the KVM por ts of the B064- Series KVM Switch, expanding the
number of connected computers/ser vers up to 512 units. In a cascaded installation, the top B064-Series KVM Switch is considered the
first-stage unit, the cascaded switches are considered second-stage units.

To set up a two-stage installation:

1. Ensure that power to all the devices you will be connecting, including all pre-existing devices on the installation, have been turned off.

2. Use Cat5e patch cable to connect any available KVM Port on the first-stage unit (the B064-Series KVM Switch) to a B054-001-PS2
or B055-001-PS2 Server Interface Unit.

Note: Although USB SIUs will allow you to cascade to a second stage KVM, only PS/2 SIUs will properly display the cascaded KVM in
the OSD. When connected via PS/2 SIU, the cascaded K VM will be displayed as an expandable port, allowing you to easily access the
connected computers. When connected via USB SIU, the cascaded KVM will be displayed as an ordinary port. To access computers
connected to the cascaded KVM, you will have to use the cascaded KVM’s OSD.

3. Plug the SIU’s KVM connectors to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse Console ports of the second-stage B064-016 unit.

Note: The distance between the second-stage unit and the first-stage Unit cannot exceed 164 ft. (50m).

4. Use the appropriate KVM Cable Kits (See the Second Stage KVMs owner’s manual), to connect any available KVM port on the
second-stage unit to the Keyboard, Video and Mouse por ts of the computer/server you are installing.

5. Plug the power cord that came with the cascaded KVM switch into its power socket, and then into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or PDU.

6. Repeat these steps for any other second-stage units you wish to connect.

7. First power on the B064-Series KVM Switch and then power on all second-stage KVM switches.

8. Turn on the power to all of the connected computers/servers.

Note: The Power On sequence requires that the B064-Series KVM Switch be powered on first. After the B064-Series KVM Switch has
been powered on, all second-stage units must be powered on. After the second-stage units have been powered on, the connected
computers/servers can be powered on.

2. Super Administrator Setup

The B064-Series KVM Switches supports three types of users:

User Type Description

2.1 First Time Setup

Once the B064-Series KVM Switch has been installed, the Super Administrator must prepare the unit for user operation by setting the
network parameters and adding users.

Super Administrators have full access to all Ports and Devices in the KVM installation. They can manage all aspects of the
installation.

Administrators have access to Ports and Devices that are authorized by the Super Administrator. They can manage Users and
Groups and configure their personal working environment.

Users can access Ports and Devices authorized by Super Administrators or Administrators and they can configure their personal
