[. . . ] The 8-Port Switch (F1DN108U) can be mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack using the included rack-mount brackets and screws. An optional Rack-Mount Kit (Belkin part number F1D005) is available for use with the 2- and 4-Port Switches. Consider the following when deciding where to place the Switch: · your proximity to the port selectors on the front of the Switch · the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse · the location of your computers in relation to your console · the lengths of the cables you use to connect your computers to the Switch Warning: Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e. g. , vacuum cleaners). 8 Installation Step 1 Mounting the Switch (optional) Bracket Installation (F1DN108U) The 8-Port Switch includes adjustable mounting brackets ideal for installation in 19-inch racks. The mounting brackets feature three adjustment positions that allow you to set the Switch's face flush with the ends of the rails, or to extend the Switch past the front of the rails. Please follow these simple steps to achieve the desired adjustment. 1. 1 Determine how far you would like the Switch to protrude from the rack. Attach the bracket to the side of the Switch using the Phillips screws provided. (Refer to diagram below. ) 1 2 section 3 4 5 6 7 1. 2 1. 3. (Refer to diagram below. ) Your Switch is now mounted securely to the rack and you are ready to connect your console. 9 Installation Bracket Installation (F1DN102U and F1DN104U) The 2- and 4-Port Switches can be installed into a 19-inch rack using an optional Rack-Mount Kit, sold separately (Belkin part number F1D005). 1. 1 Attach the Rack-Mount Bracket to the Switch using the Phillips screws provided. (Refer to diagram below. ) 1. 2 Mount the Switch to the rack rails. (Refer to diagram below. ) Your Switch is now mounted securely to the rack and you are ready to connect your console. 10 Installation Step 2 Connecting the Console to the Switch (required) Warning: Before attempting to connect anything to the Switch or your computers, please ensure that all computer equipment and devices are powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables while computers are powered on may cause irreversible damage to the computers and/or the Switch. Belkin Corporation is not responsible for damage caused by your failure to do so. Before you connect your console to the Switch, make sure that your USB keyboard and mouse work properly with all your computers (the Human Interface Device (HID) USB drivers are installed on all computers). 2. 1 Connect your monitor VGA cable to the VGA port on the back of the Switch in the "User Console" section. You can select which computer you wish to control by pressing the corresponding port selector on the front of the Switch. The LED will illuminate to indicate which computer (or port) is currently selected. It takes approximately 1­2 seconds for the video signal to refresh after switching computers. Re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signals also occurs. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established between the console and the connected computers. ** Once you press a port selector, the Switch immediately disables the connection between your console and the previously selected computer, and establishes a new connection between your console and the new computer selected. Keyboard and mouse inputs can only be sent to the selected computer, and video outputs can only be received from the selected computer. The Switch also prevents any data transfer between connected computers, ensuring the security of your classified computers.
