Rack Mount Quick Installation Guide
The HMX high performance KVM
extender system 5000 and 6000
series and the LongView™ 5000
series transmitters and receivers can
be rack mounted individually as a
single unit, together as a "dual" unit,
or as standalone units on the rear of
a video monitor. More information on
installing your HMX or LongView™
extender system is available on the
Avocent® HMX High Performance
KVM Extender System Quick
Installation Guide or Avocent®
LongView™ High Performance KVM
Extender System Quick Installation
Guide that ships with your extenders.
CAUTION: Because HMX and
LongView extenders and their
power supplies generate heat
when in operation, do not place
them in locations where air cannot
circulate to cool the equipment.
One-third of the U space (1.5 cm)
must be allowed between rows of
extenders when mounting within a
rack chassis. Do not operate the
system in ambient temperatures
exceeding 40O Celsius or place
extenders in contact with other
equipment that has surface
temperatures exceeding that.
