Stage B - Mounting a module – desk or rack
The X2 Multi Screen extender modules can be situated on a desk (or floor) or
alternatively, for larger installations, mounted within optional rack mount chassis
units.
Desk mount
Apply the supplied self-adhesive
rubber feet to the underside of the
module(s).
Rack mount
Note: The module switches are not accessible once it is inserted
into the rack, therefore, check all settings before insertion.
1 Place the supplied rack plate onto the front of the module
and secure it with the countersunk screws.
2 Orient the module on its side so that its labelled face is the
correct way up and the securing plate is facing away from the
rack.
3 Slide the module into the required rack position. The
rectangular cut-out in the front upper lip of the rack allows
the screws on the module's upper edge to slide through.
4 The rack mount chassis has a series of holes in its floor that
are spaced to accommodate the screws on the module's lower
edge. Ensure that the screws correctly locate into the holes of
the chosen slot. The rack securing plate on the module should
now be flush with the front of the rack mount chassis.
5 Use the supplied (pan-head) screws, in the top hole of the
rack securing plate to fasten the module to the rack.

Installation Advice

• For correct operation, the local and remote units must have ground
connections. At the computer end, ensure that the computer or KVM switch
that the LOCAL module is connected to has a ground connection. At the
keyboard/monitor/mouse end, ensure that the REMOTE module's power
supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground
connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.
• Try to avoid laying the interconnect cables alongside power cables where
possible.
