Rack Mounting your AutoView Unit
You can either place your AutoView appliance on your desktop or rack mount your unit into an EIA standard rack.
Obtain a Rack Mounting Bracket Kit (1U) from Avocent to rack mount your AutoView. Before installing the switch and other components in the rack, stabilize the rack in a permanent location. Start rack mounting your equipment at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top.
CAUTION: Rack Loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating.
CAUTION: Power Considerations - Connect only to the power source specifi ed on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, assure the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fi re and shock hazards.
