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:

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.

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.

Numeric Keypad Option
Models with the Numeric Keypad option (-N) (i.e. RACKMUX-V15-N) have a standard Windows keyboard with 17-key numeric

keyboard/mouse mode (page 14).
Note: When the Numeric Keypad option is present, the "Fn" key does not lock. Instead, the “Fn” key operates similar to
