The USB pass-through ports allow connection of external USB devices, such as KVM switches or storage media, directly to the connected servers.

Installation Notes

Installation requires mounting into a standard 1U (1.75-inch) vertical space within a 19-inch server rack. Ensure sufficient depth clearance for the drawer when extended. Connect the integrated VGA or HDMI video output to the server's video port and the USB cable to the server's USB port for keyboard and mouse functionality. The two additional USB ports on the drawer can be used for connecting external USB devices to the server.
