Step 6.
Close the flat-panel display.
Attention:
• When you route the keyboard-and-mouse cable, make sure that the cable does not hang below
the underside of the keyboard where it might be damaged if it interferes with the devices in the
rack space below the console unit.
• Make sure that you route all cables through the cable-routing features on the console frame
behind the display and along the cable-management arm.
Step 7.
Route the cable along the cable-management arm, securing the cables with the hook-and-loop
fastener strips.
Installing the console unit in the rack
Review the documentation that comes with your rack for safety and cabling information. When you install
your system in a rack, observe the following guidelines:
• Make sure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
• Do not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of air space provides proper airflow.
• Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
• Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.
• Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
• Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
• Do not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack.
• You can install the outer slide-rails in a square-hole rack, round-hole rack, or threaded-hole rack and no
tools are required.
To install the console unit in the rack, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Place the console unit on a stable, flat surface.
Attention: The video cable is connected to the flat-panel display. As you install the console unit in
the rack, be careful that you do not pinch or cut the video cable.
Step 2.
Select a 1U location in the rack for the console unit.
Step 3.
