Stacking and Rack Mounting
The CS1708A / CS1716A can be stacked on a desktop or rack mounted by a
variety of different methods in 1U of rack space. The procedures for each
method are described in the following sections.
Note: 1. Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for adequate ventilation and
12.7 cm at the rear for power cord and cable clearance.
2. The standard rack mounting kit does not include screws or cage nuts.
If you need additional screws or cage nuts, contact your rack dealer.
3. For instructional purposes, the CS1708
A is pictured in the diagrams
that follow. However, the CS1708
A is the same as the CS1716A,
except that it has 8 KVM ports instead of 16.
Stacking
The CS1708A / CS1716A can be placed on any level surface that can safely
support its weight and the weight of the attached cables. Ensure that the surface
is clean and free of materials that can block the exhaust vents or otherwise
interfere with normal operation of the KVM switch. Peel the protective backing
off of the foot pads, and affix them to the bottom panel of the CS1708
A /
CS1716
A at the corners, as shown in the diagram below.
