This guide covers Vertiv™Avocent
HMX 6200 DP and HDMI High
Performance KVM extender system
transmitters only.
CAUTION: HMX devices and their
power supplies generate heat during
operation. Do not mount them where
air cannot circulate to cool the
equipment. One-third of the U space
(1/2 inch) must be allowed between
rows of extenders when mounting
within a rack chassis.
Do not operate the system in ambient
temperatures exceeding 104°F (40°C)
or place transmitters or receivers in
contact with equipment that exceeds
that surface temperature.
In order to maintain suitable cooling
airflow, if only two transmitters are
installed within the rack mount, install
the optional blanking plate.

1. Installing the tray in the rack

2. Installing the device in the tray
Place a transmitter into each rack

against the small pegs on the tray
side walls.
3. Inserting the thumbscrew
Insert the supplied thumbscrew
through the supplied spacer and
into the small hole at the end of the
tray divider. Gently tighten the
