2.1 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 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.

(separate from the console) to the inside rear of a standard 1U rack system using user- supplied screws.

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.
