NTI RACKMUX-V15/17 RACKMOUNT LCD MONITOR WITH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
1
INTRODUCTION
The RACKMUX-V15/17 Drawer (RACKMUX) consists of a Keyboard, Touchpad, and LCD monitor integrated into a 1RU
rack-mountable drawer with wrist pads. When access to a server rack is needed, the drawer can be pulled out and the display
lifted up like a notebook computer, revealing the keyboard and mouse. When the drawer is not in use, the display can be folded
forward and down so the 1RU drawer can be pushed into the cabinet easily and smoothly, helping to organize and streamline
busy server rooms. The NTI RACKMUX product line offers a range of KVM Drawer solutions ideal for rack and server
management applications, which will ensure reliability and serviceability.
The RACKMUX will switch between USB and PS/2 standards for versatile connection to a CPU. The forward-folding LCD
monitor is offered in either 15” or 17” (designated in the product name as -15 or -17) and the video format can be either VGA or
single-link DVI (designated by –V or –D: example RACKMUX-V15). For user input, the drawer offers a notebook-style keyboard,
wrist-pad, and a three-button touchpad. The keyboard and mouse can be connected using USB and PS/2 cables. USB and PS/2
interfaces will remain active at all times and the keyboard and mouse can be switched, at any time, to use either one. The
RACKMUX-V15/-V17 also provides a front panel USB 1.1 port for the connection of an external USB device.
The keyboard and mouse interface is compatible with Windows platform CPUs. This multiple interface capability reduces
equipment costs by ensuring that a single console is compatible with various PC/server input devices.
Installing the RACKMUX into any server environment will offer:
•A space saving 1RU design, easily mountable in any 19” cabinet/rack
•A forward-folding 15” or 17” TFT LCD with built-in OSD menu for screen adjustments

INSTALLATION
Rack Mounting Instructions
The RACKMUX was designed to be mounted to a rack and includes mounting flanges to make attachment easy. The rails that
are provided for rack mounting will either be empty studs for insertion through slots in a rear extension bracket, or rail guides for
one-man installation to a front and rear bracket set. Depending upon the method provided, install your RACKMUX according to
the instructions below.
Extension Bracket Method
1. Determine the mounting height in the rack for the drawer. It should be a height comfortable to use the keyboard and see the
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. Apply the top screws (supplied) for each bracket to the holes marked in
step 1.
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 4 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 4 studs available for use. In this case,
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 with two screws per bracket. Be sure to tighten the screws securely. Then
tighten the nuts applied in step 3.
5.Apply one more screw to each of the rear brackets to finish.

to XGA (1024 x 768), each with a refresh rate at between 55 and 76Hz. The quality of the image on the LCD monitor is adjustable
using an On Screen Display (OSD) menu using the control buttons on the RACKMUX.
Standard Controls
The RACKMUX has 5 standard control buttons and a power LED. The 5 standard control buttons operate as follows:
•The Power button turns the RACKMUX LCD and backlight ON and OFF as desired.
•The Power LED located immediately below the Power button is a dual color
LED. It will illuminate with a green color when the RACKMUX is powered
ON and working properly. It will illuminate with a red color if the RACKMUX
is powered ON but there is no input signal detected.
•The Menu button is used to bring up the OSD menu where the various
settings of the LCD display can be adjusted. Once the OSD screen is
displayed, the Menu button is used to make selections within the menus.
