Rack Mounting Your Integrated LCD KVM Switch
Your Integrated LCD KVM Switch may be rack mounted using brackets. 
Before installing the switch, stabilize the rack in a permanent location. 
Be sure to rack your Integrated LCD KVM Switch in an area of the 
cabinet that will allow you to utilize the LCD monitor, keyboard and 
mouse funtions.
CAUTION: Rack Loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in 
shelf or rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury. 
Do not exceed your rack load rating. 
To mount the Integrated LCD KVM Switch:
1.
Loosen the four rear screws of each mounting bracket without 
completely removing the screws. You will have to extend the 
bracket to access two of the screws on the bracket.
NOTE: Mounting brackets are labeled with an “L” for the left-side bracket and an 
“R” for the right-side bracket.
2.
Using the M4 screws provided, connect both left and right brackets 
to the cabinet frame. After securing the brackets to the cabinet, 
tighten the four rear screws loosened in step 1.
