Rackmount ConsiderationsRackmounting 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.
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.
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.
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.
Slide 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.
Take 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.
