Rackmount Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

The ambient operating temperature in the rack may be an issue and is dependent upon the rack load and ventilation. When installing in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, make sure that the temperature will not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature. (32º to 104º F)

Airflow

Ensure that the airflow within the rack is not compromised.

Circuit Overloading

When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.

Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

To protect against circuit overloading you should connect your B070-016-19 Console KVM and attached computers/servers to a Tripp Lite SmartPro® or SmartOnline® UPS System.

Rackmounting the NetCommander KVM

The NetCommander Console KVM is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. For con- venience, a rack mounting kit is included for quick installation. The various mounting options are explained in the sections that follow.

Standard Rackmounting

The standard rackmounting brackets that come attached to the console allow the unit to be installed in standard 1U racks by a single individual.

1Slide out the rear mounting brackets from the console and mount both brackets (separate from the console) to the inside rear of a standard 1U rack system using user-supplied screws.

2Take the console and gently slide it into the two rear- mounted brackets in the rack and secure the console in place by inserting user-supplied screws.

2-Post Rackmounting

The Console KVM can also be mounted in a 2-post rack installation using the optional

2-Post Rackmount Kit (model #: B019-000). The mounting hardware allows for the console to be opened with the drawer in any position. Heavy-duty 14-gauge steel provides stability and prevents the console frame from twisting. See the B019-000 instructional manual for detailed mounting instructions.
