Introduction
The RACKMUX-T15 (RACKMUX) is a general-purpose character terminal with a 15" color LCD display and keyboard mounted in
a 1U high rack mountable tray. The RACKMUX connects to servers using either a serial RS232 console connection or an Ethernet
telnet RSC console connection (to the RSC Ethernet console port where available). The terminal offers multiple personalities, and
can connect to multiple servers when used with a Console Server (for RS232 connections) or with an Ethernet Switch (for
Ethernet connections). This guide describes the basic installations and configuration procedure. For further details, please see
the RACKMUX-TERMINAL Installation and Operation Manual.
Hardware Installation
Hardware installation consists of the following steps:
1. Determine the mounting height in the rack for the drawer.
LCD display. Mark holes in each of the 4 corner cabinet rails at points all level with each other.
2. Secure the rear brackets to the rear rack cabinet rails at the holes marked in step 1 using #10-32x3/4" screws and cage nuts
(supplied). Be sure to tighten the screws securely.
3. Lift the keyboard into position and line the studs on the left and right sides up with the slotted openings in the rear bracket.
Apply the nuts (supplied) to the studs but do not tighten the nuts yet.
FYI: There are 5 mounting studs provided on each side of the RACKMUX. Depending on the depth of the rack and
distance apart of the cabinet rails, the position of the rear bracket may make all 5 studs available for use.
apply the 2 nuts to the studs furthest apart from each other on each side.
4. Slide the drawer in until the top holes in the front bracket flanges line up with the holes marked in step 1. Secure the front
brackets on the drawer to the front cabinet rails using #10-32x3/4" screws and cage nuts (supplied). Be sure to tighten the
screws securely.
Then tighten the nuts applied in step 3.

Note: Very deep racks may require the back of the rails to be bolted to an internal mid-rail within the rack, in which
case the rear rail extensions should be reversed so as to present the appropriate mounting holes to the rack mid-
rails.
