3.1.3 Rack mounting your appliance
Your KVM s2-1611 appliance ships with rack mounting brackets for easy integra-
tion into your rack. Before installing the appliance and other components in the
rack cabinet (if not already installed), stabilize the rack in a permanent location.
Install your equipment starting at the bottom of the rack cabinet, then work to the
top. Avoid uneven loading or overloading of rack cabinets.
3.1.3.1 Installing the rack mount brackets
Line up the holes in the “long side” of the kit’s side brackets with the screw
holes in the switch.
With a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the mounting brackets to the switch using
two 8/32” x 1/2” pan head screws on each side.
Attach the four cage nuts or clip nuts to the rack mounting ange of the rack
cabinet so that the nut is positioned on the inside of the rack.
Mount the switch assembly to the rack cabinet by matching the holes in the
“short side” of each bracket to an appropriate set of matching holes on your
rack cabinet. Next, insert the combination hex head screws through the slots
in the bracket and the holes in the mounting rail, then into the cage nuts or clip
nuts.
