Single Station Installation
In a single stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches daisy
chained down from the KH1508
Ai / KH1516Ai. To set up a single stage
installation, refer to the installation diagrams starting on page 15. The numbers
in the diagrams correspond with the numbers of the instruction steps, below:
1. Ground the KH1508
Ai / KH1516Ai by connecting one end of a grounding
wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable
grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit
from surges or static electricity.
2. Plug the the console keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the unit’s console
ports. Ports are color coded and marked with icons for easy identification.
Note: You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections.
3. If you are using a laptop USB console to control the KH1508Ai /
KH1516
Ai locally, use the laptop USB cable included in the package to
connect the laptop to the KH1508
Ai / KH1516Ai’s Laptop port, located on
the unit’s front panel.
4. Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM adapter
cable that is appropriate for the computer you are installing (see KVM
Adapter Cables, page 6 for details).
Note: To support a resolution of 1280x1024@75Hz, the recommended maximum
distance between the unit and the KVM adapter cable is 50 meters; to
support a resolution of 1600x1200@60Hz, the recommended maximum
distance is 40 meters.
5. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the appropriate ports
of the computer you are installing. (See KVM Adapter Cable Installation
Diagrams, page 16 for connection examples.)
6. Plug the LAN or WAN cable into the KH1508
Ai / KH1516Ai’s LAN port.
7. Plug the female end of the power cord into the KH1508
Ai / KH1516Ai's
power socket; plug the male end into an AC power source.
After the KH1508
Ai / KH1516Ai is cabled up, you can turn on the power. After
it is powered up, you can turn on the servers.
