Installing a keyboard tray
The keyboard tray can hold a standard keyboard or a space-saver keyboard, and
occupies 1U of space in your rack cabinet. With a space-saver keyboard, there is
also room for a flat panel monitor and the optional flat panel monitor rack mount kit
as shown in “Installing a flat panel monitor rack mount kit”.
The keyboard tray can support up to 11 kg (24 lb). See the documentation that
comes with your keyboard tray for detailed installation instructions. Use the
following general procedure to install a keyboard tray and keyboard in your rack
cabinet:
1. Determine the location for the keyboard tray within the rack cabinet.
2. Attach the rails to the front and rear of the rack cabinet, adjusting the length of
the rails to fit the depth of the rack cabinet if required.
3. Slide the keyboard tray onto the rails; then, store the keyboard in the area
provided.
4. See the keyboard documentation for information on how to connect it to a
server or console switch.
