7. Installation

The B030-008-17-IP is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. For convenience, a rack mounting kit is included for quick installation. The
various mounting options are explained in the following subsections.

7.1 Standard Rack Mounting

The standard rack mounting brackets that come attached to the console KVM switch allow the device to be installed in a standard 1U rack by
a single individual.
1. Slide out the rear mounting brackets from the console and mount both brackets (separate from the console) to the inside rear of a
standard 1U rack system using user-supplied screws.
2. Gently slide the console into the two rear-mounted brackets in the rack and secure the console in place with user-supplied screws.

7.2 2-Post Rack Mounting

The console KVM switch can also be mounted in a 2-post rack installation using the optional 2-Post Rack Mount Kit (model #: B019-000).
The mounting hardware allows for the console to be opened with the drawer in any position. Heavy-duty 14-gauge steel provides stability and
prevents the console frame from twisting. See the B019-000 instructional manual for detailed mounting instructions.

7.3 Grounding

To prevent damage to the installation, it is important that all devices are properly grounded. Use the included grounding wire to ground the
KVM switch by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal on the device and the other end to a suitably grounded object.
