1. Hardware Setup
The KVM switch can be mounted in a 19-in (1U) rack. The rack mount brackets can be installed on either the front or the back of the
unit so that it can be mounted to the front or back of the rack.
1. Depending on whether you front-rack mount or rear-rack mount the unit, remove the two screws located on both sides of the front or
back of the unit.
2. Use the screws supplied with the rack mount kit to attach the rack mount brackets to the front or rear of the unit.
3. Position the device in the front or rear of the rack and align the holes in the mount brackets with the holes in the rack.
4. Secure the rack mount brackets to the rack using user-supplied screws.
In a single-stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded or daisy-chained from the B064-Series KVM. To set up a
single-stage installation, refer to the following instructions and the corresponding installation diagrams.
1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting, including all pre-existing devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2. Optional: Plug your Local Console’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the KVM’s Local Console Ports. You will need to connect the
included USB – PS/2 Console Cable Kit to the console port on the back of the unit.
Note: You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections. For example, you can use a PS/2 keyboard with a USB mouse.
USB keyboards and mice can plug into the USB ports on the front panel, as well as the ports on the USB – PS/2 Console Cable Kit. The
B064-Series KVM Switch does not support distances above 65 ft between the KVM and the local monitor.
3. Use Cat5e cable to connect any available KVM port to a Server Interface Unit (SIU): B055-001-PS2 (PS/2), B055-001-SER (Serial),
B055-001-USB (USB) or B055-001-USB-V2 (USB withe Virtual Media).
