Installing the optional console switch
Learn how to install the optional console switch.
You can use a console switch to attach more than one server to a single display and keyboard. The
optional console switch is available separately.
Depending on the depth of the console switch and the depth of the rack, you might be able to mount a
console switch behind the console unit in the same 1U space. To mount the console switch behind the
console unit, use the custom mounting brackets that come with the console unit.
Important: The console switch extends beyond the rear rack-cabinet mounting flanges when you install
the switch behind the console unit.
Note:
• In this procedure, left and right refer to orientations as you are facing the rear of the rack.
• The console switch mounting brackets are supplied in the miscellaneous hardware kit.
• The mounting brackets have several pre-drilled holes and can support most console switch designs.
To install a console switch behind the tray, complete the following steps:
1. Attach the left-side bracket to the left side of the console switch using two 8-32 screws. Then, attach
the right-side bracket to the right side of the console switch.
Note: The left-side bracket has a channel for you to route the power, video, and keyboard-and-mouse
cables. Make sure that you attach the brackets to the console switch so that the channel on the left-
side bracket faces upward.
