Introduction

Overview

The CL1008 / CL1016 Slideaway

TM

LCD KVM Switch series are control units

that allow access to multiple computers from a single keyboard, video, and

mouse (KVM) console. A single CL1008 or CL1016 can control up to 8 or 16

computers. As many as 15 additional KVM switches can be daisy chained to

the CL1008 / CL1016, so that up to 256 computers can all be controlled from

a single KVM console.

The CL1008 / CL1016 offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM

switch technology by integrating a keyboard, LCD monitor, and touchpad in a

1U rack-mountable sliding housing. The LCD display is built into the cover;

the keyboard and touchpad are built into the base. Slide the KVM module

section out; flip the cover up; and you are ready to work. When finished, flip

the cover down and slide the KVM module away.

The CL1008 / CL1016 is built on a modular design. The KVM section can be

detached from the switch section for convenient maintenance and repair.

Your CL1008 / CL1016 investment is protected by an included Firmware

Upgrade Utility. You can stay current with the latest improvements to the

switch by downloading firmware update files from our website as they become

available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the

upgrade.

Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is

entailed. Because the CL1008 / CL1016 intercepts keyboard input directly,

there is no software to configure; no need to get involved in complex

installation routines; nor any need to be concerned with incompatibility

problems.

Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished

either by entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of a

powerful, mouse driven, on-screen display (OSD) menu system. A convenient

Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the

activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.

Hardware Setup

Before you Begin

Standard Rack Mounting

A standard rack mount kit is provided with your CL1008 / CL1016. The kit

enables the switch to be mounted in rack with a depth of 42.0–82.0 cm.

Note:  It takes two people to mount the console.

 The standard rack mount kit does not include screws or cage nuts.

If you need additional screws or cage nuts, contact your rack

dealer.

1. Important safety information regarding the placement of this

device is provided on page 49. Please review it before proceeding.

2. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up

have been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any

computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.

To rack mount the switch, do the following:

1. Have one person position the unit in the rack and hold it steady. Have the

second person screw the front brackets to the rack.

2. While the first person still holds the unit in place, the second person slides

the left & right L-shaped brackets into the unit’s side mounting brackets

from the rear, installing four screws in the brackets to secure them in place.

3. After the L-shaped brackets are secured, tighten all the screws.

Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for proper ventilation, and at least 12.7

cm at the back for the power cord and cable clearance.

Single Stage Installation

In a single stage installation, there are no additional switches daisy chained

down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation, refer to the

installation diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram correspond

to the numbers of the installation steps), and do the following:

1. For each of the computers you are installing, use a KVM cable set (as

described in the Cables section on page 3) to connect any available KVM

port to the computer's keyboard, video and mouse ports.

Note: Ignore the daisy chain port at this time. It is only used when daisy

chaining additional units. Daisy chaining is described in the next

section.

2. Use the power cord provided with this package to connect the switch's

power socket to an AC power source.

This completes the installation. Now, you can power on the switch

(see Powering Up, page 18 for details). After the switch is powered on, power

on the computers.
