How to Use Connecting the Console

Power connector PS/2 connector 3.5mm mini-jack Audio In VGA connector USB connector USB-PS/2 switch DVI connector

To connect the LCD console to a computer, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off your computer.
2. Connect the VGA or DVI video cable from the VGA/DVI output on the computer system to the VGA or DVI port on the rear of the rack console. Only connect one or the other, not both.
3. Set the USB-PS/2 switch on the console to either USB or PS/2 mode, depending on which you wish to use to connect the computer.
4. Connect either the USB or PS/2 connector on the rear of the rack console to a USB or PS/2 port on the computer system.
5. For audio, connect a 3.5mm audio cable to the Line In connector on the console to the Line Out on the computer or external KVM (available separately, such as StarTech.com ID: SV831DUSBAU).
6. Connect the power adapter and power cord to the power connector on the console. Connect the remaining end of the power cord to an available power outlet.

Note: The front USB port on this console is a USB 1.1 port for connecting an external keyboard / mouse only. It is not meant for high-speed data transfer.

Turning on the Console

Make sure all cables and the power adapter are connected properly. Be sure to tighten all connector screws. Grab the front handle and pull the console all the way out then lift the panel up. The power LED underneath the LCD monitor will light up green.

Configuring Display Settings

After connecting the rack console and turning on your computer, you may need to configure one or more of the following display settings to allow the computer to display at the console's native resolution. See Specifications for the correct resolution mode for your model.

• Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution)
- Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync)
• Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors)

Each video card has several controls that allow you to adjust the display settings, however, the software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you can adjust these settings using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of the video card. Most video cards use the Windows Display Properties control panel to configure the display. To open the Windows Display Properties, click the right mouse button in a blank area of the Windows desktop and then select Properties. The Settings tab usually lets you change the Color Palette and the Desktop Area (X by Y pixel resolution).

Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Display Properties control panel giving you an extra setup options that are flexible and easy to use. For example, the control panel may include an Advanced Properties button, an Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for changing other settings. Other video cards have a separate utility for setting display properties.

Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position, or shape may change. This behavior is normal. You can readjust the image using the monitor on-screen controls. For more information on the monitor on-screen controls, refer to Panel controls and OSD functions. For more information on configuring the display settings, please refer to the manual that accompanied your video card.

Testing the Console

To test that the console is working properly, perform the following steps:

1. Power up the rack console, and then turn on your computer.
2. Make sure the video image is centered within the screen area. Use the OSD controls to adjust the image (see Panel controls and OSD functions) or press the Auto button on the right hand side of the monitor.

Note: If the unit does not power up when the panel is pulled up, try pushing the soft power on/off button on the right side of the monitor panel to power up the unit.

Note: You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position, contrast, and brightness to better suit your video card and your personal preference.

Before you begin, make sure that power to all of the devices you will be connecting to the console have been turned off. To prevent damage to your installation due to ground potential difference, make sure that all of the devices being installed are properly grounded. Once all peripherals have been connected, please power them on.
