Stacking and Rack Mounting
The KM0832 can be stacked on the desktop or rack mounted by a variety of different methods in 1U of rack space. The procedures for each method are described in the following sections.
Note: Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for adequate ventilation and 12.7 cm at the rear for power cord and cable clearance.
Stacking
The KM0832 can be placed on any level surface that can safely support its weight and the weight of the attached cables. Ensure that the surface is clean and free of materials that can block the exhaust vents or otherwise interfere with normal operation of the KVM switch. A foot pad set is included with the unit. Peel the protective backing off of the foot pads, and then affix the foot pads to the bottom panel of the KM0832 at the corners, as shown in the diagram below.
