NTI RACKMUX KVM Drawer with UNIMUX Switch

INTRODUCTION

The RACKMUX-VS17-NT-8USB is a KVM Drawer with USB KVM Switch (RACKMUX) that combines a rackmount 17" TFT/ LCD

monitor, SUN keyboard, three-button trackball, and USB KVM switch (UNIMUX) in a space-saving 1RU industrial strength drawer.

The RACKMUX is equipped with a built-in switch function, which allows control of up to eight USB-enabled computers with a

single keyboard, trackball and monitor. When access to a server rack is needed, the drawer can be pulled out and the display

lifted up like a notebook computer, revealing the keyboard and trackball. When the drawer is not in use, the display can be folded

forward and down so the 1RU drawer can be pushed into the cabinet easily and smoothly, helping to organize and streamline

busy server rooms.

The onboard USB KVM switch allows access to any Windows, MAC, or SUN USB CPUs from one monitor, USB keyboard and

USB mouse (up to 8 CPUs). Internal microprocessor circuitry allows all USB CPUs to be booted simultaneously without keyboard

error. Port selection is accomplished through On Screen Display (OSD) menus provided for switch control and security

administration.

RACKMUX SINGLE-PERSON INSTALLATION

Your NTI RACKMUX Drawer was designed for easy installation by one person with a minimum of tools and effort. Follow the

simple steps below to quickly install your RACKMUX Drawer.

If you would like to see a video of this installation, see the “single-person-installation”video .

1. Locate and unpack the hardware bag. Your hardware bag will include all items necessary to install the specific RACKMUX

model (see the manual that accompanied your RACKMUX drawer), including the following hardware unique to the Single-Person

hardware installation:

10- #10-32 cage nut

2- #10-32 x 1/2” flat-head machine screw

8- #10-32 x 3/4” pan-head machine screw

To install the rails you will need only a tape measure and Phillips screwdriver.

2. Unpack the left and right rail assemblies. Each are labeled “Right Front” and “Left Front” to indicate their intended position and

orientation. Extend each rail assembly to the dimension required for your rack. Rail assemblies are adjustable to fit within a rack

between 24” and 40” in depth.

Figure 1- Adjustable rail assemblies

Rail assemblies are adjustable in length from 24” to 40”.

3. Install six #10-32 cage nuts at the front of the rack in positions where the RACKMUX will be mounted (three in each side).

Install four more cage nuts at the rear of the rack in positions straight across from the upper and lower cage nuts installed in front.

Figure 2- Install the cage nuts

4. Install the right rail assembly. The end with the label “Right Front” mounts to the front rack support. Install only the center

screw through the rail flange to the rack support and cage nut using the #10-32 x 1/2” flat head machine screw provided. (See

image below.) Do not tighten at this time. Install the left rail assembly in the same fashion. The end with the label “Left Front”

mounts to the front rack support.

5. Install two #10-32 x 3/4” pan-head screws in the rear of each rail assembly as shown below. Do not tighten at the time.

head screws to the rail flanges securely.

Figure 4- Check spacing of the rails

7. Lineup the rail guides on the RACKMUX drawer with the slots in the front of the left and right rails and slide the drawer into the

rack. The rail guides should be positioned such that the wide lip of the guide is on the backside of the rail. Slide the drawer in
