Where to place the IP Device:

The IP Device includes a mounting bracket and is designed for stand-alone or 0U rack-mount installation.

Consider the following when deciding where to place the Switch:

•whether or not you intend to use the included bracket

•the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse

•the location of your KVM switch or server in relation to your console

•the lengths of the cables you use to connect your IP Device to the KVM switch or server

Warning: Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).

You are now ready to begin installation of your IP Device. The following sections (pages 10–14) provide complete instructions for the hardware setup of the IP Device to a KVM switch or individual server.
