SERVSWITCH™ BRAND FIBER KVM EXTENDERS
Appendix B:
Rackmounting the Extender
If you want to mount one or two ServSwitch™ Brand Fiber KVM Extender Local or
Remote Modules in a standard 19" equipment rack, you can use the Single-Module
Rackmount Kit (product code RMK235) or the Dual-Module Rackmount Kit
(RMK235-2) respectively. The RMK235 kit is shown in Figure B-1:
Figure B-1. The RMK235 Rackmount Kit.
Each of these Kits consists of a single rackmounting frame, two handles, four
Philips-head screws, a hex tool, and four (RMK235) or eight (RMK235-2) hex-head
screws. To use a Kit to mount an Extender Module, take these steps, referring to
Figure B-2 on the next page:
1. Using a Philips-head screwdriver (not included), attach the handles to the
front of the Kit frame with the four Philips-head screws.
2. Unscrew and remove two screws from each side of the case of the Module you
want to mount:
• If you want the
front-panel device connectors
—the ones on a Local Module that
will be attached to the CPU, or the ones on a Remote Module that will be
attached to the user station—to protrude from the front of the rack, remove
the screws closest to the
front
of the Module.
• If you want the
rear-panel fiberoptic connectors
to protrude from the front of
the rack, remove the screws closest to the
rear
of the Module.
3. Insert the Module into the Kit frame from behind, through the matching
hole (or, on the Dual Kit, either matching hole); the end of the Module that
you removed the screws from in step 2 must go in first. Match up those now-
vacant screwholes in the sides of the Module with the holes in the two small
flanges welded to the back of the Kit frame.
