4.1
Pre-installation guidelines
•
Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely
to generate electrical noise
•
Place the KVMultiport on a flat, clean and dry surface
•
The KVMultiport is not intended for connection to exposed outdoor lines
•
Ensure that the maximum distance between each computer and the KVMultiport, does
not exceed 10m/33ft
4.2
Avoiding general rack mounting problems
Elevated operating ambient temperature
The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room
ambient when installing into a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. So install the equipment in
an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature.
Reduced airflow
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation is not compromised. Leave a gap of at least 5cm/2” each side of the KVMultiport.
Mechanical loading
Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
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 earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Give attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
4.3
Rack mounting the KVMultiport
Rack mount the KVMultiport using the supplied Rack-mount kit. The brackets can be placed
in 2 possible positions, see Figure 3.
