3.1 Rack-Mounting Instructions for Console KVMs
The NetDirector Console KVM Switch is designed for mounting in a 1U rack system. For
convenience, a rack-mounting kit is included with your KVM for quick installation. The
mounting options are explained in the sections that follow:
Note:
1. It is recommended that the unit be installed by two people; one to hold it in place and the other to attach
it to the rack.
2. The rackmounting kit that comes with the unit does not include screws or cage nuts. Contact your rack
dealer for this hardware.
3. Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for proper ventilation, and at least 12.7 cm at the rear of the unit for
the power cord and cable kits.
Standard Rack Mounting
1Slide out the rear mounting brackets from
the console and mount both brackets
(separate from the console) to the inside
rear of a standard 1U rack system using
user-supplied screws.
2Take the console and gently slide it into
the two rear-mounted brackets in the rack
and secure the console in place by
inserting user-supplied screws.
2-Post Rack Mounting
The NetDirector Console KVM Switch can
also be mounted in a 2-post rack installation
using the optional 2-Post Rack-Mount Kit
(model #: B019-000). The mounting
hardware allows for the console to be opened
with the drawer in any position. Heavy-duty, 14-gauge steel provides stability and prevents
the console frame from twisting. See the B019-000 instructional manual for detailed
mounting instructions.

3.3 Single-Station Installation
1. Ensure that power to all the connected
devices has been turned off.
2. Connect the included USB/PS2 Combo
Console Cable Kit to the console connector on
the back of the unit, then connect a monitor,
mouse and keyboard to the appropriate
connectors on the cable kit. The distance
between the external console and the KVM
switch must not exceed 66 ft. (20 m).
Note: This step is mandatory for B022-U08 KVM switches, but is optional for Console KVM Switches.
3. Use a P778-Series USB/PS2 Combo KVM Cable Kit to connect each CPU port to a
computer/server. The distance between the KVM switch and each connected computer
must not exceed 33 ft. (10 m).
4. Plug the power cord or power adapter cable into the KVM’s power jack, then plug into
a UPS, surge protector or other AC power source. Turn on the power switch for the
console KVM. (Not required for the B022-U08.)
5. Turn on the power to the computers.
3.4 Multiple Station (Daisy-Chained) Installation
To control even more computers, up to 31
B022-U08 KVM Switches can be daisy-
chained down from the first station.
Note: As many as 264 computers can be controlled
from the unit’s integrated console in a complete
installation.
To set up a daisy-chained
installation:
1. Ensure that power to all the connected
devices has been turned off.
2. Connect the included USB/PS2 Combo
Console Cable Kit to the console
connector on the back of the unit, then
connect a monitor, mouse and keyboard to
the appropriate connectors on the cable
kit. The distance between the external
console and the KVM switch must not
exceed 66 ft. (20 m).

5
3. Installation
3. Use a daisy-chain cable (described in the Cables section) to connect the Chain Out
port of the parent unit to the Chain In port of the child unit. The distance between any
two KVM switches in a daisy-chain must not exceed 49 ft. (15 m). The distance
between the first KVM switch and the last KVM switch in a daisy-chain must not
exceed 328 ft. (100 m), regardless of the number of KVM switches in the entire chain.
4. Use a KVM cable kit (described in the Cables section) to connect the keyboard, video
and mouse ports of a computer to any available port on the KVM switch. The distance
between the KVM switch and each connected computer must not exceed 33 ft. (10 m).
5. Repeat the above steps for any additional KVM switches and computers you wish to
add to the chain.
6. To power up the installation:
a. Plug in the power adapter for the first station. Wait a few seconds to allow the unit
to determine its Station ID.
b. Plug in the power adapters for each subsequent station in the installation (i.e.
second station, third station, etc.). Each KVM switch has an LED display on its front
panel to indicate its Station ID (the Station ID for the first station is 01, the ID for
the second station is 02, the ID for the third station is 03, etc.).
In each case, wait for the Station ID to be displayed on the Station ID LED before plugging
in the next station.
3.5 Multiple Station (Cascaded) Installation
The B022-U08 KVM Switch can be cascaded off of a B020-016-17-IP Console KVM
Switch to expand the number of connected computers. Before you can start a cascaded
installation, you must upgrade the B022-U08 firmware to be cascade compatible. (See
Firmware Upgrade for details.) For cascaded installation details, see the owner’s manual
for the B020-016-17-IP Console KVM Switch.

4. Basic Operation
5. OSD (On-Screen Display) Operation
4.1 Opening the NetDirector Console KVM
5.1 OSD Overview
The On-Screen Display (OSD) is a text-based interface that allows for control and
administration of the KVM switch. When logging onto the KVM switch, the OSD Main Menu
is the first screen you will see after entering your username and password.
5.2 Logging In For The First Time
The KVM switch features two-level security, with one Administrator and four User accounts.
If you are an Administrator accessing the KVM switch for the first time, leave the
Username and password field blank and hit the [Enter] key twice to access the OSD Main
Menu. Once logged into the KVM switch as Administrator, you will be able to access all
OSD features and customize KVM settings. At this point, it is highly recommended that you
change the Administrator username and password.
4.2 Closing the NetDirector Console KVM
The console is located under the top
cover. To access the console, slide the
console module out and raise the cover.
Note: As a safety precaution, to keep the
console from accidentally sliding out, the console
is locked into the “in” position. Before you can
pull the console module out, first must release it
by pushing the catches on the unit’s front panel
toward the center of the switch.
To slide the console module back in,
close the cover and do the following:
1. Pull the safety catches on the unit’s
side rails toward you and push the
module in until it stops.
2. Release the catches; pull the module
slightly toward you; then push it all
the way in.
Note: The purpose of the two-step procedure is
to minimize the chances of pinching your fingers
when sliding the module in.

5. OSD (On-Screen Display) Operation
5.3 OSD Invocation Sequence
Once logged into the KVM switch, you will need to use one of two sequences to open the
OSD Main Menu; [Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock] or [Ctrl, Ctrl]. The default OSD invocation
sequence is [Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock].
Note: When using the [Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock] OSD invocation sequence, you must hold down the [Fn] key,
as the [Scroll Lock] key is part of the [Num Lock] key.
When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to the one above appears:
Note:
1. The diagram depicts the Administrator’s Main Screen. The User Main Screen does not have the F4 and F6
functions, since they can’t be accessed by ordinary Users and are reserved for the Administrator.
2. OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it was when it was last closed.
3. Only the ports that have been set accessible by the Administrator for the currently logged in User are
visible.
4. If the port list is collapsed into stations, simply click on the plus sign next to the desired station number, or
highlight the desired station number and hit the [Enter] key.
5.4 OSD Navigation
• To close the menu and deactivate OSD, click the [X] at the upper right corner of the
OSD Window or press [Esc].
• To logout, press [F8], click F8 on the OSD Menu Bar or click the zZzsymbol at the
upper right hand corner of the OSD Screen.
• To move up or down one line at a time, click the Up and Down Triangle symbols ()
or use the Up and Down Arrow Keys. If there are more entries than appear on the
screen the screen will scroll.
• To move up or down one screen at a time, click the Up and Down Arrow symbols (),
or use the [Pg Up] and [Pg Dn] keys. If there are more entries than appear on the
screen, the screen will scroll.
• To activate a port, double-click it or move the Highlight Bar to it, then press [Enter].
• After executing any action, you automatically go back to the menu one level above.
