The enclosure of the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch is designed for  
rack-mount configuration in a standard 19-inch server rack. Rack-mount 
hardware is included for a sturdy rack installation.
When deciding where to place the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch, consider 
the location of your servers and the length of cables needed to connect those 
servers to your Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch.

For PS/2 servers 
We recommend that PS/2 cable length from the Rack-Mount Console KVM 
Switch to your servers be limited to 25 feet for best video performance. Beyond 
that length, the probability of video degradation increases.

For USB servers
We recommend that USB cable length from the Rack-Mount Console KVM 
Switch to your servers be limited to 12 feet for best video performance.

The Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch includes adjustable mounting brackets 
ideal for installation in 19-inch racks.

a)  Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – If installed in a closed 

or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of 
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, 
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an 
environment compatible with the rack manufacturer’s maximum rate 
ambient temperature.

b)  Reduced Airflow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be  

such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the 
equipment is not compromised.

c)  Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack  

should be such that hazardous condition is not achieved due to 
uneven mechanical loading.

d)  Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment 

should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply 
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit.
