System Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics RackView Keyboard Drawer. This product is the result of Rose
Electronics’ commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for today’s demanding workplace. The
RackView Keyboard Drawer is the ideal product for managing one or more PC’s/Servers in a confined rack
space.
The RackView Keyboard Drawer can be mounted at any height in a standard 19" rack and can be closed shut
when it's not in use. Connect the Keyboard Drawer to a CPU/Server using either the PS2 or USB interface, or
connect directly to the user port of a KVM Switch if you have a separate monitor already installed. The product
is often paired with a RackView LCD Panel Mount display to make a complete KVM station. This gives the
benefit of having the LCD display always present, and the keyboard can hide away when not needed.
The instructions in this manual assume a general knowledge of computer installation procedures, familiarity
with cabling requirements, and some understanding video display device operation.
