4. Installation

4.1 Rackmounting guidelines

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 rackmounted equipment should be maintained.
To protect against circuit overloading, you should connect your NetDirector Console KVM and attached
computers/servers to a Tripp Lite SmartPro

4.2 Rackmounting Instructions for Console KVMs

The NetDirector Console KVM Switch is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. For convenience, a rack
mounting kit is included with your KVM 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 KVM Switch
allow the unit to be installed in standard 1U racks 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
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.
2-Post Rackmounting
The NetDirector Console KVM Switch 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.
