NTI RACKMUX-V15/17 RACKMOUNT LCD MONITOR WITH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE  
INTRODUCTION  
The RACKMUX-V15/17 Drawer (RACKMUX) consists of a Keyboard, Touchpad, and LCD monitor integrated into a 1RU  
rack-mountable drawer with wrist pads. When access to a server rack is needed, the drawer can be pulled out and the display  
lifted up like a notebook computer, revealing the keyboard and mouse. When the drawer is not in use, the display can be folded  
forward and down so the 1RU drawer can be pushed into the cabinet easily and smoothly, helping to organize and streamline  
busy server rooms. The NTI RACKMUX product line offers a range of KVM Drawer solutions ideal for rack and server  
management applications, which will ensure reliability and serviceability.  
The RACKMUX will switch between USB and PS/2 standards for versatile connection to a CPU. The forward-folding LCD  
monitor is offered in either 15” or 17” (designated in the product name as -15 or -17) and the video format can be either VGA or  
single-link DVI (designated by –V or –D: example RACKMUX-V15). For user input, the drawer offers a notebook-style keyboard,  
wrist-pad, and a three-button touchpad. The keyboard and mouse can be connected using USB and PS/2 cables. USB and PS/2  
interfaces will remain active at all times and the keyboard and mouse can be switched, at any time, to use either one. The  
RACKMUX-V15/-17 also provides a front panel USB 1.1 port for the connection of an external USB device (such as a flash drive).  
The keyboard and mouse interface is compatible with Windows platform CPUs. This multiple interface capability reduces  
equipment costs by ensuring that a single console is compatible with various PC/server input devices.  
Installing the RACKMUX into any server environment will offer:  
A space saving 1RU design, easily mountable in any 19” cabinet/rack  
A forward-folding 15” or 17” TFT LCD with built-in OSD menu for screen adjustments  
Auto shut-OFF switch: Turns OFF the power to the monitor when the LCD is in a folded-closed position.  
Built-in 83-key (US) or 84-key (Europe) keyboard with wrist pad  
Standard 3-button mouse touchpad  
Support for PS2 and USB connections for the keyboard and mouse.  
Support for VGA or single-link DVI signals  
Front-access USB port for easy accessory USB 1.1 device connection  
An internal cable arm for proper cable management when sliding the drawer open and closed  
Added security with a drawer lock to prevent unwanted access  
Locking rails to prevent movement of the drawer when fully extended  
Built-in universal (100-240VAC) low power consumption power supply  
Multi-language support including: US(English), UK(English), German, French, Italian, Spanish

INSTALLATION  
Rack Mounting Instructions  
The RACKMUX was designed to be mounted to a rack and includes mounting flanges to make attachment easy.  
1. Determine the mounting height in the rack for the drawer. It should be a height comfortable to use the keyboard and see the  
LCD display. Mark holes in each of the 4 corner cabinet rails at points all level with each other.  
2. Secure the rear brackets to the rear rack cabinet rails. Apply the top screws (supplied) for each bracket to the holes marked in  
step 1.  
3. Lift the keyboard into position and line the studs on the left and right sides up with the slotted openings in the rear bracket.  
Apply the nuts (supplied) to the studs but do not tighten the nuts yet.  
FYI: There are 4 mounting studs provided on each side of the RACKMUX. Depending on the depth of the rack and  
distance apart of the cabinet rails, the position of the rear bracket may make all 4 studs available for use. In this case,  
apply the 2 nuts to the studs furthest apart from each other on each side.  
4. Slide the drawer in until the top holes in the front bracket flanges line up with the holes marked in step 1. Secure the front  
brackets on the drawer to the front cabinet rails with two screws per bracket. Be sure to tighten the screws securely. Then  
tighten the nuts applied in step 3.  
5. Apply one more screw to each of the rear brackets to finish.

Note: To provide sufficient room for the LCD monitor to be opened to a proper viewing angle (a minimum 90 degree  
position from the keyboard), ensure that all devices mounted above the RACKMUX extend no more than 1.75” from the  
rack frame. (See Fig. 2)

Optional Telco 2-Post Mounting  
If the Telco 2-post mounting bracket kit (NTI# RL-T15-TEL) is to be used, secure the short and long brackets to each side of the  
drawer as shown in Fig. 2. Apply 2 nuts (supplied) per bracket to secure the brackets to the drawer. Apply two #10-32x3/4”  
screws (supplied) per bracket to the post at the desired height. Slots are provided in the brackets to make minor depth  
adjustments easy. Be sure to properly tighten all nuts and screws before using the drawer.

Connect to a CPU  
The RACKMUX may be connected to either a PS/2 or a USB CPU with a VGA video port.  
To connect to a PS/2 CPU, use a  
VEXT-6-MM cable and VVKINT-6-MM cable as shown in Fig. 3.  
AB-2M cables as shown in Fig. 2.

Connect Extra Device  
On the front of the RACKMUX is an additional USB Type A port to be used, if desired, for an extra accessory. Any low or full  
speed USB device may be connected to this port to be used. This port is fully compliant with USB standard 1.1.  
Note: In order for the optional USB device port to be usable, the USB port on the rear of the RACKMUX must be  
connected to a USB enabled CPU (a 2 meter USB cable is supplied).  
Note: If a USB keyboard or mouse is connected, operation of the RACKMUX keyboard or mouse may cause  
unpredictable results. Do not try to use both mice or both keyboards at the same time.

NTI RACKMUX-V15/17 RACKMOUNT LCD MONITOR WITH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE  
DISPLAY FUNCTIONS  
An NTI RACKMUX with a 17” monitor supports resolutions up to SXGA (1280 x 1024) with a refresh rate at between 55 and 76Hz.  
When a 15” monitor is present, support for resolutions up to XGA (1024 x 768) apply with a refresh rate at between 55 and 76Hz.  
The quality of the image on the LCD monitor is adjustable using an On Screen Display (OSD) menu using the control buttons on  
the RACKMUX.  
Standard Controls  
The RACKMUX has 5 standard control buttons and a power LED. The 5 standard control buttons operate as follows:  
The Power button turns the RACKMUX LCD and backlight ON and OFF as desired.  
The Power LED located immediately below the Power button is a dual color  
LED. It will illuminate with a green color when the RACKMUX is powered  
ON and working properly. It will illuminate with a red color if the RACKMUX  
Power  
ON/OFF  
Power LED  
is powered ON but there is no input signal detected.  
Menu  
The Menu button is used to bring up the OSD menu where the various  
settings of the LCD display can be adjusted. Once the OSD screen is

KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS  
RACKMUX-V15  
The keyboard on the RACKMUX-V15 (and RACKMUX–V17) is a standard condensed Windows format. To reduce the keyboard  
size, some keys have been assigned multiple functions, accessible via the "Fn" key.  
This section will describe which keys have  
multiple functions and how to enable them. Use the LEDs to know what special features are enabled.  
Function Key Operation  
The Function (“Fn”) key provides several special functions on the RACKMUX keyboard, including:  
ƒ enabling otherwise standard keyboard keys to be used as the keys of a numeric keypad  
ƒ enabling multi-function keys to change operation  
ƒ enabling the “T” key to act as a mode key to toggle between USB and PS/2 keyboard/mouse mode  
To turn ON (lock) the Function key, press the “Fn” key twice quickly (double-click). The “Fn” LED will illuminate.  
To turn OFF (unlock) the Function key, press the “Fn” key twice quickly again. The “Fn” LED will turn OFF.  
Note: The "Fn" key will also operate similar to the shift key (with only momentary effect). Press and hold the "Fn" key  
prior to pressing the special function key. The "Fn" key will remain active as long as it is depressed.
