mounting flanges are just past the rear of the rack rails. Make sure the front mounting flanges remain on
the outside of the front rack rails.
2. Level the RackView assembly (left to right) and secure the rear mounting flanges (left and right) to the rear
rack rails using the included mounting screws (4 screws).
3. Secure the front mounting flanges (left and right) to the front rack rails using the included mounting screws
(4 screws). Make sure the RackView assembly is level (front to back).
4. Check that the RackView assembly will slide in flush with the front rack rails, and open fully with no binding.

rails using the provided mounting screws (4 screws). Make sure the finger brackets are level.

3. Locate the keyboard, video monitor, and mouse cables on the RackView and connect these
cables to the corresponding ports on a C or the KVM connector on a Rose switch. When
connecting to a Rose switch, a KVM adapter cable may be required if the KVM switch’s connector
is a DB25F. Before connecting any C Us to a Rose switch, verify that the C Us video resolution
is set-up to be compatible with the RackView’s monitor resolution. Refer to the specific Rose
switch manual for connecting and configuring the C Us.
