5. Installation
5.3 Rackmounting for B022-U08
Fasten the rackmount brackets to the rack with user-supplied screws to install in a rack.
5.4 Grounding
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are properly grounded. Use the included grounding wire to ground the KVM
switch by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal on the unit and the other end of the wire to a suitably grounded object.
5.5 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.
5.6 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).
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.
