Chapter 3: Pre-Installation Guidelines
3. Pre-installation Guidelines
• Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.
• Place the ServReach KVMultiport KVMoIP on a flat, clean, and dry surface.
• The ServReach KVMultiport KVMoIP is not intended for connection to exposed outdoor lines.
• Make sure that the maximum distance between each computer and the ServReach KVMultiport KVMoIP does not exceed
33 feet (10 m).
3.1 Avoiding General Rackmounting Problems
Elevated operating ambient temperature
The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature when installing
into a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient
temperature.
Reduced airflow
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. Leave a
gap of at least 2" (5 cm) on each side of the ServReach KVMultiport KVMoIP.
Mechanical loading
Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition caused by uneven mechanical loading is not created.
Circuit overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Reliable grounding of rackmounted equipment should be maintained. Give attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
3.2 Rackmounting the ServReach KVMultiport KVMoIP
Rackmount the ServReach KVMultiport KVMoIP using the supplied rackmount kit. The brackets can be placed in two possible
positions (see Figures 3-1 and 3-2).
