•Mechanical loading: Avoid a potentially hazardous condition caused by uneven
mechanical loading by carefully mounting the equipment in the rack.
•Circuit overloading: Consider the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Observe equipment nameplate ratings for
maximum current.
•Reliable earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay
particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
2.4.2 Installing a KVM appliance in the rack mounting space
Remove the screws on each side of the KVM s3-1621 or KVM s3-1641 appliance.
Line up the holes in the long side of each mounting bracket.
With a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the mounting brackets to the KVM s3-1621 or
KVM s3-1641 appliance, using two 8/32-inch x 1/2-inch pan-head screws on
each side.
Attach four cage nuts or clip nuts to the rack mounting flange of the rack so that the
nut is positioned on the inside of the rack.
Mount the KVM s3-1621 or KVM s3-1641 appliance assembly to the rack by
matching the holes in the short side of each mounting bracket to a set of matching
holes on the rack. Insert the combination Phillips screws through the slots in the
mounting bracket and the holes in the mounting rail, then into the cage nuts or
clip nuts.
