6. Important Safety Instructions
6.2 Rack-Mounting Safety Instructions
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-device rack assembly, ensure the temperature will not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature.
Before installing the rack, ensure the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor and the full weight of the rack rests on the
oor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up with the heaviest item loaded into the rack first.
When loading the rack, avoid creating a hazardous condition due to uneven loading.
Ensure the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.
Use caution when pressing the rail release latches or sliding a device into or out of a rack; slide rails can pinch yourngers.
After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, then slide the device into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch
circuit rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack.
Do not connect the RJ11 connector marked “Upgrade” to a public telecommunication network.

7. Installation
The Console KVM Switch is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. A rack-mounting kit is included for quick installation. The various
mounting options are explained in the following subsections. The installation instructions depict model B030-008-17-IP, but all steps are the
same for all models.
7.1 Standard Rack Mounting
The standard rack mounting brackets that come attached to the console KVM switch allow the device to be installed in a standard 1U rack by
a single individual.
1. 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.
2. Gently slide the console into the two rear-mounted brackets in the rack and secure the console in place with user-supplied screws.
7.2 2-Post Rack Mounting
The console KVM switch can also be mounted in a 2-post rack installation using the optional 2-Post Rack Mount 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.
7.3 Grounding
To prevent damage to the installation, it is important that all devices are properly grounded. Use the included green-yellow ground wire
(min. 0.5 mm2, min. 20 AWG) to ground the KVM switch by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal on the device and the
other end of the wire to a suitable grounded cabinet.
7.4 KVM Switch Installation
To set up the console KVM switch, refer to the following steps and installation diagram.
1 Power off all computers that will connect to the KVM switch.
