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.

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
