5.2 Rack Mounting Instructions

Standard Rack Mounting
1. Depending on whether you want to mount the KVM switch to the front or back of the rack, attach the included rackmount brackets to the
front or rear sides of the KVM switch.
2. Using user-supplied screws, mount the rackmount brackets of the KVM switch to the rack.

5.3 Grounding

To prevent damage to your installation, it is important that all
devices are properly grounded. Using a user-supplied grounding
wire, ground the KVM switch by connecting one end of the wire to
the grounding terminal on the unit, and the other end of the wire to
a suitably grounded object.

*When connecting to computers using the PS/2 connectors of a P778-
Series Cable Kit, the Mouse Sync Mode setting must be set to Manual
in order to access the computer over IP . If Mouse Sync Mode is set to
Automatic, you will not have mouse functionality when accessing that
computer over IP . This setting is set to Manual by default.
