Stage B - Mounting a module – desk or rack
The X2-Series extender modules can be situated on a desk (or floor) or
alternatively, for larger installations, mounted within optional rack mount chassis
units.
Desk mount
Apply the supplied self-adhesive
rubber feet to the underside of the
module(s).
Installation Advice
• For correct operation, the local and remote units must have ground
connections. At the computer end, ensure that the computer or KVM switch
that the LOCAL module is connected to has a ground connection. At the
keyboard/monitor/mouse end, ensure that the REMOTE module’s power
supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground
connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.
• Try to avoid laying the interconnect cable alongside power cables where
possible.

Rack mount
Note: The module switches are not accessible once it is inserted into the rack,
therefore, check all settings before insertion.
1 Place the rack securing plate (available as a separate kit) onto the front of
the module and secure it with the two countersunk screws.
2 Orient the module on its side so that its labelled
face is the correct way up and the securing plate
is facing away from the rack.
3 Slide the module into the required rack position.
The rectangular cut-out in the front upper lip of
the rack allows the two screws on the module’s
upper edge to slide through.
4 The rack mount chassis has a series of holes in its
floor that are spaced to accommodate the two
screws on the module’s lower edge. Ensure that
the screws correctly locate into the two holes of
the chosen slot. The rack securing plate on the
module should now be flush with the front of the
rack mount chassis.
5 Use the third (pan-head) screw, in the top hole of
the rack securing plate to fasten the module to
the rack.
