2. Installation
•
Power Considerations: Connect only to the power source specified on the
unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that
the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities.
Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.
•
Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the
operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature of
the switch.
•
Reduced Air Flow: Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•
Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment.
Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
To install the rack mounting bracket:
1.
Remove the two rack mounting screws from each side of the switch.
2.
Place the rack mounting brackets next to the switch.
3.
Insert the screws supplied with the rack mounting kit through the holes of the
brackets and into the switch. Tighten the screws securely.
4.
Install the switch into the rack using the method of the rack manufacturer.

Connecting the Switch Hardware
To connect and turn on your switch:
CAUTION: You must turn off all servers that will be part of your switching system. Wait until step 6 to turn
1.
Plug your monitor and either PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse cables into
the appropriately labeled ports on the switch.
2.
Plug a compatible IQ or SMB Adapter USB-VGA module into the appropriate
ports on the back of the target server.
3.
Choose an available numbered port on the rear of the switch. Plug the SMB
Adapter cable or one end of a UTP patch cable (4-pair, up to 45 meters) into
the selected port and plug the other end into the RJ-45 connector of the IQ
module. Repeat this procedure for all servers that are to be connected to the
switch.
