3.2.3 Power Connection
The KVM module is provided with a power adapter capable of supplying the display monitor, keyboard and KVM module.
IMPORTANT: You must only use the manufacturer approved power adapter with the KVM module.
IMPORTANT: Due to the length of the power cable, if the rack tray 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.
1 Attach the output lead from the power adapter to the 12V socket on the rear panel of the KVM module. See Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4. Connect the power adapter to the rear panel power socket.
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 KVM module 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 35
o
C. Do not place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature
exceeds 35
o
C.
