1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONSRackmount Console KVM Switch, Model 521796 (15” LCD, 8-port); Model 521871 (15” LCD, 16-port); Model 523561 (17” LCD, 8-port); or Model 523578 (19” LCD, 8-port).

With a keyboard mouse, LCD panel and KVM switch module housed in an industry- standard 19” 1U- or 2U-height rack drawer, the console saves you as much as a third of the space needed for a rack cabinet. And when the console is cascaded with other INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS KVM switch modules to increase server management capacity, you save even more space.

Flip-open 15,” 17” or 19” LCD panels support VGA resolution up to 1280 x 1024 without any degradation. The advanced VGA circuit design guarantees smooth and flicker-free switching from one computer to another with cable lengths up to 100 ft. / 30 m (tested with high-quality UL2919-rated, low-loss and shielded cables).

With the on-screen display (OSD) menu, you can name your computers, switch to a computer from a list, easily configure settings and view the name of the selected computer on-screen with a programmable time interval. Plus, the OSD menu shows the system status throughout operation.

All KVM switch modules come with a universal CEN36 connector for connection between the console drawer and a KVM switch module. This modularized design offers maximum flexibility, as you can choose and swap the modules to fit your needs. A KVM switch module can also be used as an independent KVM switch.

This user manual shows you how to set up and operate the KVM switch. (For instructions on assembling and positioning the console drawer and the switch in a rack, refer to the separate Rackmount Console KVM Switch quick installation guide.)
