Local Installation
WheretoplacetheConsoleServer:
The enclosure of the Console Server is designed for stand-alone or rack-mount
configuration. The Console Server can be mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack using
the included rack-mount brackets and screws.
ConsiderthefollowingwhendecidingwheretoplacetheConsoleServer:
•thelocationofyourtargetdevicesinrelationtoyourconsole
•thelengthsofthecablesyouusetoconnectyourdevicestotheconsole
•thepowersource-Connectonlytothepowersourcespeciedontheunit.
When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total
component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities.
Cable-LengthRequirements(forCAT5)
Serial binary data signals (RS232) transmit best up to distances of 50 feet (15m). Beyond that
length, the probability of signal degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends
that the length of the CAT5 UTP cable between the Console Server and the connected
servers does not exceed 50 feet (15m).
CablesandAdapters
Belkin highly recommends you use Belkin Category 5e, FastCAT5e, or Category 6 Patch
Cables for your Console Server to help ensure the signal integrity.
