Installation
Introduction
Supporting both USB and PS/2 interfaces, an Integrated LCD KVM
Switch can control up to 16 servers, depending on the model (8-port and
16-port models are available). Built-in keyboard, video and mouse
(KVM) peripherals not only save valuable cabinet space, but also enable
direct channel selection via on-screen display (OSD) or keyboard
hotkeys. The16-port Integrated LCD KVM Switch can daisy-chain up
to 256 servers, while the 8-port model can daisy-chain 248 servers.
Time-out and password protection offer secure access to the Integrated
LCD KVM Switch, while the hot-plug feature allows for uninterrupted
switching and usage.
Getting Started

following list to ensure you have all items that shipped with the
appliance, as well as other items necessary for proper installation.
Supplied with the Integrated LCD KVM Switch
• Integrated LCD KVM Switch

Installation
If you are installing your Integrated LCD KVM Switch to a PS/2
interface, you must turn off all servers before connecting your appliance
to a server for proper installation. USB interfaces do not need to be
turned off before installation.
NOTE: Linux users may experience mouse failure if hot-plugging directly to the
Integrated LCD KVM Switch. If your mouse becomes locked, use the mouse reset
hotkeys (see
Appendix A
) to reset your mouse, or turn the Linux server off before
connecting it to the Integrated LCD KVM Switch.
To install the Integrated LCD KVM Switch:
1. Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the back of the switch
and the other end into an appropriate power source.
2. Connect your servers to an available port on the rear of your
Integrated LCD KVM Switch using the appropriate cable.
3. Turn on all connected servers. Keyboard and mouse recognition is
now activated and your Integrated LCD KVM Switch is ready for
operation. Figure 1.1 shows a basic configuration for the 16-port
Integrated LCD KVM Switch.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at
all times.
- Disconnect the power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from either the
electrical outlet or the unit.
Rack Mounting Your Integrated LCD KVM Switch
Your Integrated LCD KVM Switch may be rack mounted using brackets.
Before installing the switch, stabilize the rack in a permanent location.
Be sure to rack your Integrated LCD KVM Switch in an area of the
cabinet that will allow you to utilize the LCD monitor, keyboard and
mouse funtions.
CAUTION: Rack Loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in
shelf or rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury.
Do not exceed your rack load rating.
To mount the Integrated LCD KVM Switch:
1. Loosen the four rear screws of each mounting bracket without
completely removing the screws. You will have to extend the
bracket to access two of the screws on the bracket.
NOTE: Mounting brackets are labeled with an “L” for the left-side bracket and an
“R” for the right-side bracket.
2. Using the M4 screws provided, connect both left and right brackets
to the cabinet frame. After securing the brackets to the cabinet,
tighten the four rear screws loosened in step 1.

3. Align the rear of the Integrated LCD KVM Switch with attached
brackets and slide the unit into the front of the cabinet.

NOTE: Avocent recommends having two people assist each other while rack
mounting this unit.
4. Using the Integrated LCD KVM Switch keys, unlock the unit and
pull the rail lock switches located on the side of the unit. Guide the
Integrated LCD KVM Switch into the cabinet.
5. Using the flat screws provided, attach both the left and right
brackets to the Integrated LCD KVM Switch to secure the unit.
Figure 1.3: Utilizing the Rail Lock Switch
NOTE: To attach the long support brackets (for cabinet mounts more than 33
inches long), you must remove the factory installed rear brackets and replace with
the long brackets provided. Adjust the long brackets to fit the cabinet and use two
of the previously removed screws to tighten. Repeat steps 1-5 of the mounting
procedure to secure the unit.
After installation, reference the following table which lists the functions
of the LCD monitor push-buttons.
