Installing the keyboard in the console unit
To install the keyboard in the console unit, complete the following steps:
1. Place the console unit on atable or other flat surface and make sure that the
right side of the unit extends approximately 76 mm (3 in.) over the edge of the
surface. This will help you route the keyboard-and-mouse cable more easily
later in the procedure. (See the illustration in step 5on page 7.)
2. Carefully lift the flat-panel display to the full upright position.
Thumbscrews
3. If the keyboard that you are installing comes with two rubber pads on the
underside of the keyboard, remove and discard them. (The rubber pads have
an adhesive backing and can be peeled from the surface.) If you leave the
rubber pads on the keyboard, they will extend into the 1U space below.
Remove rubber pads
(two places)
Keyboard foot
Attention: Do not extend the keyboard feet. The flat-panel display screen
might be damaged if the feet are extended when the display is closed.
4. Peel the protective strip from the hook-and-loop fastener strip that comes with
the console kit and attach it to the underside of the keyboard toward the front.

5. Carefully route the keyboard-and-mouse cable down through the keyboard tray
opening, up through the opening on the right side of the tray, and toward the
cable-management arm. Pull the full length of the cable through the opening.
6. Place the keyboard in the tray and press the hook-and-loop fasteners together.
Hook-and-loop fastener
7. Close the flat-panel display.
8. Turn over the console unit:
a. Grasp the cable-management arm and the loose cables in one hand.
b. On the opposite end of the console unit, grasp the flat-panel display and
the console unit frame together with the other hand.
c. Carefully turn over the console unit.
Attention: When you route the keyboard-and-mouse cable, make sure that
the cable does not hang below the underside of the keyboard where it might
be damaged if it interferes with the devices in the rack space below the
console unit.
Chapter 2. Installing the console unit in the rack cabinet 7

9. Route the keyboard-and-mouse cable:
a. Route the cable through the slot on the left side of the cable-routing area
on the underside of the keyboard. Do not route the cable through any of
the other three slots. (See the following illustration.)
Note: In the following illustration, the console unit is turned over and is
placed on atable or other flat surface.
b. Gently squeeze the bushing and push it toward the rear of the console unit
to remove it.
c. Push the keyboard-and-mouse cable through the slit in the plastic bushing
and push the bushing into the cable-routing cutout in the console unit
frame.

10. Secure the keyboard-and-mouse cable to the console unit with the nut and
clamp:
a. Unscrew the nut and remove the clamp.
Note: In the following illustration, the console unit is turned over and is
placed on atable or other flat surface.
b. Push the keyboard-and-mouse cable into the clamp.
Important: Make sure that you place the clamp on the
keyboard-and-mouse cable approximately 70 -76 mm (2.75 -
3in.) from where the cable exits the keyboard. This prevents
the cable from hanging below the bottom of the console unit.
c. Place the clamp on the screw on the console unit frame and hand-tighten
the nut on top of the clamp.
11. Turn over the console unit:
a. Grasp the cable-management arm and the loose cables in one hand.
b. On the opposite end of the console unit, grasp the flat-panel display and
the console unit frame together with the other hand.
c. Carefully turn over the console unit.
12. Route the keyboard-and-mouse cable through the cable management arm in
the extended position to avoid strain on the cables. Secure the cable with the
hook-and-loop fasteners.

Installing the console unit in the rack cabinet
Statement 26:
CAUTION:
Do not place any object on top of rack-mounted devices.
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling
information. When you install your system in arack cabinet, observe the following
guidelines:
vMake sure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
vDo not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of air space provides proper
airflow.
vPlan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vInstall the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vDo not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
vConnect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
vDo not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack.
Use cage nuts for rack cabinets with square holes. Use clip nuts for rack cabinets
with round holes. If your rack cabinet requires cage nuts, use acage-nut-insertion
tool or aflat-blade screwdriver to install them.
