Hardware Installation

Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have
been turned off.

2.1 Rack Mount Installation

Find a convenient place to put your KVM Switch. The 19” rack mount form factor
makes it ideally mountable on a 19” rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the
included brackets to the sides of the KVM Switch. Take note of the length of your
cables so that your computers, KVM Switch, keyboard, mouse and monitor are
distanced properly.
