7. Installation
The B030-DP08-17D / B030-DP16-17D is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. For convenience, a rack mounting kit
is included for quick installation. The various mounting options are explained in the following subsections.
7.1 Standard Rack Mounting
The standard rack mounting brackets that come attached to the console KVM switch allow the device to be installed in a
standard 1U rack by a single individual.
1. Slide out the rear mounting brackets from the console and mount both brackets (separate from the console) to the inside
rear of a standard 1U rack system using user-supplied screws.
2. Gently slide the console into the two rear-mounted brackets in the rack and secure the console in place with user-supplied
screws.
7.2 2-Post Rack Mounting
The Console KVM Switch can also be mounted in a 2-post rack installation using the optional 2-Post Rack Mount Kit (Tripp Lite
model #: B019-000). The mounting hardware allows the console to be opened with the drawer in any position. Heavy-duty
14-gauge steel provides stability and prevents the console frame from twisting. See the B019-000 instructional manual for
detailed mounting instructions.
7.3 Grounding
To prevent damage to the installation, it is important that all devices are properly grounded. Use the included grounding wire
to ground the KVM switch by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal on the device and the other end to a
suitably grounded object.
