SERVSWITCH™ BRAND FIBER KVM EXTENDERS

Appendix B:

Rackmounting the Extender

If you want to mount one or two ServSwitch™ Brand Fiber KVM Extender Local or Remote Modules in a standard 19" equipment rack, you can use the Single-Module Rackmount Kit (product code RMK235) or the Dual-Module Rackmount Kit (RMK235-2) respectively. The RMK235 kit is shown in Figure B-1:

Figure B-1. The RMK235 Rackmount Kit.

Each of these Kits consists of a single rackmounting frame, two handles, four Philips-head screws, a hex tool, and four (RMK235) or eight (RMK235-2) hex-head screws. To use a Kit to mount an Extender Module, take these steps, referring to Figure B-2 on the next page:

1.Using a Philips-head screwdriver (not included), attach the handles to the front of the Kit frame with the four Philips-head screws.

2.Unscrew and remove two screws from each side of the case of the Module you want to mount:

•If you want the front-panel device connectors—the ones on a Local Module that will be attached to the CPU, or the ones on a Remote Module that will be attached to the user station—to protrude from the front of the rack, remove the screws closest to the front of the Module.

•If you want the rear-panel fiberoptic connectors to protrude from the front of the rack, remove the screws closest to the rear of the Module.

3.Insert the Module into the Kit frame from behind, through the matching hole (or, on the Dual Kit, either matching hole); the end of the Module that you removed the screws from in step 2 must go in first. Match up those now- vacant screwholes in the sides of the Module with the holes in the two small flanges welded to the back of the Kit frame.
