2.2 Mounting a module – desk or rack
The Extender C5 modules can be situated on a desk (or floor) or alternatively, for larger installations, mounted
within optional rack mount chassis units.
General remark
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 running the interconnect cable alongside power cables where possible.
Desk mount
Apply the supplied self-adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the module(s)
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
Orientate 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.
