Installation Advice

•For correct operation, the local and remote units must have ground connections. At the computer end, ensure that the computer or KVM switch that the LOCAL module is connected to has a ground connection. At the keyboard/monitor/mouse end, ensure that the REMOTE module’s power supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.

•Try to avoid laying the interconnect cable alongside power cables where possible.

once it is inserted into the rack, therefore, check all settings before insertion.

1Place the supplied rack plate(s) onto the front of the module and secure it with the

countersunk screws.

2 Orient the module on its side so that its labelled face is the correct way up and the securing plate(s) is/are facing away from the rack.

3Slide the module into the required rack position. The rectangular cut-out in the front upper lip of the rack allows the two screws on the module’s upper edge to slide through.

4The rack mount chassis has a series of holes in its floor that are spaced to accommodate the two screws on the module’s lower edge.

Ensure that the screws correctly locate into the two holes of the chosen slot. The rack securing plate(s) on the module should now be flush with the front of the rack mount chassis.

5Use the supplied (pan-head) screw(s), in the top hole of the rack securing plate(s) to fasten the module to the rack.
