1. Secure the cable-support bar to the front end of the side
brackets, near the side brackets' “ears,” using two of the
included screws.
2. Slide the KX II between the side brackets, with its rear
panel facing the cable-support bar, until its front panel is
flush with the back edges of the side brackets.
3. Secure the KX II to the side brackets using the remaining
included screws (three on each side).
4. Mount the entire assembly in your rack and secure the
side brackets' ears to the rack's front rails with your own
screws, bolts, cage nuts, and so on.
5. When connecting cables to the rear panel of the user
station or switch, drape them over the cable-support bar.
QS Rule
Step 1: Configuring Network Firewall Settings
TCP Port 5000
Allow network and firewall communication on TCP Port 5000
to enable remote access to the KX II.
Alternatively, configure the KX II to use a different TCP port,
then allow communication on that port.
TCP Port 443
Allow access to TCP Port 443 (Standard HTTPS) so you can
access KX II via a web browser.
TCP Port 80
Allow access to TCP Port 80 (Standard HTTP) to enable
automatic redirection of HTTP requests to HTTPS.

Step 2: Configure the KVM Target Servers
Target Server Video Resolutions
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, KVM
target servers running graphical user interfaces such as
Windows
®
, Linux
®
, X-Windows, Solaris
™
, and KDE may
require configuration.
The desktop background does not need to be completely
solid, but desktop backgrounds featuring photos or complex
gradients might degrade performance.
Ensure that the server video resolution and refresh rate are
supported by KX II, and that the signal is non-interlaced.
See the
KX II Online Help
for a list of supported target server
video resolutions.
