2. Installation
Setting up your network
The switch uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the switch and the target
devices. The KVM s4 switch supports both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and static IP addressing. Make sure that an IP address is reserved for
each switch and that each IP address remains static while the switch is
connected to the network.
2.2
Rack Mounting a KVM s4 Switch
A rack mounting kit is supplied with each switch. You may either place the switch
on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into an Electronic Industries Alliance
(EIA) standard rack.
The switch may be rack-mounted in a 1U or 0U configuration.
Rack mounting safety considerations
•
Rack Loading: Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or
rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury.
Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount
components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not
exceed your rack load rating.
•
Power considerations: Connect only to the power source specified on the
unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that
the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities.
Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.
•
Elevated ambient temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the
operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature of
the switch.
•
Reduced air flow: Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•
Reliable earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment.
Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
•
Product should not be mounted with the rear panel facing in the downward
position.
