Installing an optional console switch
You can use a console switch to attach more than one server to a single monitor and space-saver
keyboard. The console switch option is available separately, but additional mounting brackets come with
the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II. You can use mounting brackets that come with the console
switch to mount it vertically in the rack cabinet. Instructions for vertical mounting come with the console
switch.
Installing the console switch above the keyboard tray is an alternative to mounting it vertically inside your
rack cabinet. You must use the mounting brackets that come with the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit
II if you mount the console switch just above the keyboard tray. Enough clearance must exist for the
keyboard tray (and attached flat panel monitor) to slide completely into the rack cabinet.
Use the following procedure to install a console switch above the keyboard tray:
1. Secure the two provided brackets to your console switch with two screws per side.

Note: There are two sets of mounting holes on the brackets. You can install the console switch even
with the back of the rack cabinet or recessed inside, depending on how you install the
brackets.
2. Install the console switch 1 above the keyboard tray, securing it with four screws (two per side) in
the rear of your rack cabinet.

Note: Be sure to leave one U between the keyboard tray and the console switch so that the
keyboard tray and flat panel monitor 2 can slide fully into the rack cabinet.
