2.2 Hardware Installation
The LCD KVM provides a standard 19-inch rack for the installation of devices. Please use the rack
installation accessories attached with the product package. First install the accessories to the device
and then the device to the rack.
Step 1. Screw the front flange to the rack first. Slide the bars with the rear flange towards the rack until
the flanges make contact with the rack, then screw the rear flanges to the rack.
Step 2. Slide the switch onto the support flanges. Use the screws supplied with this package to loosely
attach the front of the switch to the front of the rack.
