Stacking
The KVM switch can be placed on any level surface that can safely support its
weight plus the weight of attached cables. When placing the KVM switch on a
desktop, remove the backing material from the rubber feet that came with this
package and affix them to the switch's bottom panel at the corners.
Note: To ensure adequate ventilation, allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) on each side, and 5
inches (13 cm) at the back for power cord and cable clearance.
Rack Mounting
The KVM switch can be mounted in a 19-in (1U) rack. The rack mount brackets
can be installed on either the front or the back of the unit so that it can be
mounted to the front or back of the rack.
1. Depending on whether you front-rack mount or rear-rack mount the unit,
remove the two screws located on both sides of the front or back of the unit.
2. Use the screws supplied with the rack mount kit to attach the rack mount
brackets to the front or rear of the unit.
3. Position the device in the front or rear of the rack and align the holes in the
mount brackets with the holes in the rack.
4. Secure the rack mount brackets to the rack using user-supplied screws.
Single-Stage Installation
In a single-stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded or
daisy-chained from the B064-Series KVM. To set up a single-stage installation,
refer to the following instructions and the corresponding installation diagrams.
1
Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting, including all
pre-existing devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2
Optional: Plug your Local Console's keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the
KVM's Local Console Ports.
3
Use Cat5e cable to connect any available KVM port to a Server Interface Unit
(SIU): B055-001-PS2 (PS/2), B055-001-SER (Serial), B055-001-USB (USB) or
B055-001-USB-V2 (USB with Virtual Media).
4
Connect the Server Interface Unit to the computer/server.
5
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each computer/server you are connecting.

port (LAN 1).
