ServView KVM Module

3. Installation

3.1 Mounting

The KVM module is designed to interlock precisely with the rear of the ServView rack tray.

1If the ServView rack tray is already fitted, either remove it or carefully gain access to the rear of the rack mount unit.

2Locate the connection plate at the rear of the rack tray and orientate the KVM module so that its universal Centronics® 36-pin connector aligns with the socket on the connection plate. See Figure 3-1.
