Rear Mount
The steps in the table correspond to the numbers shown in
the rear rackmount diagrams.
1. Secure the cable-support bar to the front end of the side
brackets, near the side brackets' "ears," using two of the
included screws.
2. Slide the LX between the side brackets, with its rear panel
facing the cable-support bar, until its front panel is flush
with the back edges of the side brackets.
3. Secure the LX to the side brackets using the remaining
included screws (three on each side).
4. Mount the entire assembly in your rack and secure the
side brackets' ears to the rack's front rails with your own
screws, bolts, cage nuts, and so on.
5. When connecting cables to the rear panel of the LX, drape
them over the cable-support bar.
QS Rule
Step 1: Configure the KVM Target Servers
Before installing the LX, configure all KVM target servers to
ensure optimum performance. This configuration applies only
to KVM target servers, not to the client workstations (remote
PCs) used to access the LX remotely.
Desktop Background
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, use
solid color backgrounds whenever possible. Backgrounds
featuring photos or complex gradients might degrade
performance.
Supported Video Resolutions
Ensure each target server's video resolution and refresh rate
are supported by the LX, and that the signal is noninterlaced.
Video resolution and cable length are important factors in the
ability to obtain mouse synchronization. See Target Server
Connection Distance and Video Resolution in the LX
Online Help.
Mouse Settings
Following are the mouse settings for various operating
systems.
These settings are configured on your target operating system
unless otherwise indicated.
