4. Installation

4.3 Rackmounting for B022-U16

Insert screws to connect to rack

Fasten the rackmount brackets to the rack using user-supplied screws to install in a rack.

4.4 Grounding

To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are properly grounded. Use the included grounding wire to ground the KVM switch by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal on the unit, and the other end of the wire to a suitably grounded object.

4.5Single-Station Installation

1.Ensure that power to all the devices to be connected has been turned OFF.

2.Connect the included USB/PS2 Combo Console Cable Kit to the console connector on the back of the unit, and then connect a monitor, mouse and keyboard to the appropriate connectors on the cable kit. The distance between the external console and the KVM switch must not exceed 66 ft (20 m). Note: This step is mandatory for B022-U16 KVM switches, but is optional for Console KVM Switches.

3.Use a P778-Series USB/PS2 Combo KVM Cable Kit to connect each CPU port to a computer/server. The distance between the KVM switch and each connected computer must not exceed 33 ft (10 m).

4.Plug the power cord or power adapter cable into the KVM’s power jack, then plug into a UPS, surge or other AC power source. Turn on the power switch for the console KVM. (Not required for the B022-U16.)

5.Turn on the power to the computers.

4.6Multiple Station (Daisy-Chained) Installation

To control even more computers, up to 31 B022-016 or B022-U16 KVM Switches can be daisy-chained down from the first station.

Note: As many as 512 computers can be controlled from the unit’s integrated console in a complete installation.

To set up a daisy-chained installation:

1.Ensure that power to all the devices to be connected has been turned OFF.

2.Use a daisy-chain cable (described in the Cables section, page 3) to connect the Chain Out port of the parent unit to the Chain In port of the child unit. The distance between any two KVM switches in a daisy-chain must not exceed 49 ft (15 m). The distance between the first KVM switch and the last KVM switch in a daisy-chain must not exceed 328 ft (100 m), regardless of the number of KVM switches in the entire chain.

3.Use a KVM cable kit (described in the Cables section, page 3) to connect the keyboard, video and mouse ports of a computer to any available port on the KVM switch. The distance between the KVM switch and each connected computer must not exceed 33 ft (10 m).

4.Repeat the above steps for any additional KVM switches you wish to add to the chain.

5.Power up the installation according to the following procedure:

a.Plug in the power adapter for the first station. Wait a few seconds to allow the unit to determine its Station ID.

b.Plug in the power adapters for each subsequent station in the installation in turn (ie. second station, then third station, etc.). Each KVM switch has an LED display on its front panel to indicate its Station ID (the Station ID for the first station is 01, the ID for the second station is 02, the ID for the third station is 03, etc.).

In each case, wait for the Station ID to be displayed on the Station ID LED before plugging in the next station.
