Welcome

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AdderView RDX Rack Drawer which combines

screen, keyboard, mouse and sixteen port KVM switching while occupying only

a single rack slot. The screen and keyboard slide out to provide quick access to

all systems when working in the server room. All models also facilitate either

remote or global access for authorised users who are away from the server

room.

All KVM links to servers are made using Adder Computer Access Modules

(CAMs) that attach to the rack drawer rear panel via standard CATx cables.

These make installation straightforward while ensuring that all cabling remains

neat and uncluttered.

Certain sections of this manual refer to other Adder user guides for details about

the KVM module ﬁtted within your rack drawer. These other guides are stored

on the CD-ROM supplied with your rack drawer and are also available on the

Adder website.

2 Attach the supplied left and right mounting brackets to the positions in your

rack frame where the cage nuts are located and adjust the bracket depths to

suit the depth of the rack.

Connecting the rack drawer

All server, network and power connections are located at the rear of the unit.

The EXTernal link (network or remote user)

The single RJ-45 socket labelled as EXT is used to allow either global or remote

users to login and control connected servers. The EXT port provides one of the

following links (dependant on the model of rack drawer):

Computer access module links

There are sixteen RJ-45 sockets labelled as COMPUTER CONNECTIONS on the

rear panel. Each socket supports a CAT 5, 5e or 6 link to an individual server

system.

Note: The maximum length of the CAM cable can be up to 10 metres (32 feet).

For models RD1716, and RD1916, also ensure that the overall distance between

a remote user (connected to a remote extender) and any CAM unit/server does

not exceed 300 metres (980 feet).

1 Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the rack drawer.

Power connection

The rack drawer is provided with a power adapter capable of supplying the

display monitor, keyboard and in-built KVM module.

IMPORTANT: You must only use the manufacturer approved power adapter with

the rack drawer.

IMPORTANT: Due to the length of the power cable, if the rack drawer is

mounted high in the rack it may not be possible to place the power adapter at

ﬂoor level. In this case it is important to mount it securely and in such a manner

that it is not suspended from its output cable.

To connect the power adapter

1 Attach the output lead from the power adapter to the 12V socket on the

rear panel of the rack drawer:

Connecting the power adapter

to the rear panel power socket. Disconnecting the power

adapter.

2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-speciﬁc power lead to

the socket of the power adapter.

3 Connect the power cord to a nearby power outlet.

Note: Both the rack drawer and the power adapter generate heat when

in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or

place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do

not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 35oC. Do not

place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature

exceeds 35oC.

To disconnect the power adapter

When removing the power connection be aware that the plug has a locking

mechanism to prevent accidental disconnects. To remove, pull back the ﬂat top

segment of the plug body to disengage the lock and gently pull the whole plug

from the power socket:
