Section 1: 0U Mounting Locations
This section details the locations in the Dell PowerEdge rack enclosures where the KVMs can be
installed, as shipped by Dell™.
Please note the maximum ambient inlet temperature for the digital KVMs is 50 degrees C. In the
event that your rack temperature exceeds this value at the air inlet of the KVM, mount the digital KVM
in front of the rack (Section 2.1). The air inlet for the KVM is located on the non-port side, and the air
exhaust is located on the port side.
Follow the instructions contained in the Rack Installation Guide to install the KVM into the 0U bracket.
All illustrations in the following sections were created using a KVM 4322DS, however all the
information is applicable to the 1082DS and 2162DS.
