Hardware Installation
Rack Mounting
A standard rack mounting kit is provided
with your KL1508 / KL1516 . The kit
A A
enables the switch to be mounted in rack
with a depth of 42–77 cm.
To rack mount the switch, do the following:
1. While one person positions the switch in
the rack and holds it in place, the second
person—using the screws provided with
the rack mounting kit— loosely screws
the front brackets to the rack.
2. While the first person still holds the
switch in place, the second person slides
the L brackets into the switch's side
mounting brackets, from the rear until the
bracket flanges contact the rack, then –
using the screws provided with the rack
mounting kit – screws the L brackets to
the rack
3. After the L brackets have been secured,
tighten the front bracket screws.
Single Station Installation
In a single stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches daisy chained down from the
KL1508 / KL1516 . To set up a single stage installation, refer to the installation diagrams (the
A A
numbers in the diagram correspond with the numbers of the instruction steps), and do the following:
1. Ground the KL1508 / KL1516 by connecting one end of the grounding wire provided with your
A A
switch to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or
static electricity
2. Plug the console keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the unit's console ports. The ports are color
coded and marked with icons for easy identification.
Note: You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections. For example, you can use a
PS/2 keyboard with a USB mouse.
3. Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM adapter cable that is appropriate
for the computer you are installing.
Note: To support a resolution of 1280x1024, the recommended maximum distance between the unit
and the KVM adapter cable is 50 meters.
4. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the appropriate ports of the computer you are
installing.
5. Plug the female end of the power cord into the KL1508 / KL1516 's power socket; plug the male
A A
end into an AC power source.
After the KL1508 / KL1516 is cabled up, you can turn on the power. After it is powered up, you
A A
can turn on the servers
