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. 1.1 Supported Locations in the PowerEdge™ 4210 and 2410 The PowerEdge 4210 and 2410 racks support mounting the KVM to the vertical and horizontal members of the rack.
