Introduction and installation overview
With the IBM
Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II, you can install an IBM T540, T54, or T55 flat panel
monitor inside your rack cabinet. The monitor sits in a compatible keyboard tray, as shown in Figure 7 on
page 6, which also stores a space-saver keyboard. You can also mount a console switch above the tray
to attach more than one server to the flat panel monitor and keyboard.
Note: There is no room to store a mouse in the keyboard tray after installing the rack mounting kit.
Because the space-saver keyboard has a built-in pointing device, a mouse is not required.
The Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II comes with the following parts:
One base with preinstalled hinge assembly
One new hinge cover
One power supply spacer
One monitor mounting hardware package
Two console server selector switch mounting brackets
One switch mounting hardware package
