Introduction

monitor keyboard assembly designed for use with rack
mounted servers. It can be easily set up in a standard 19

LCD monitor with 1280x1024 native resolution, LCD control
ler designed to automatically work with any standard analog
video signal from a computer, a keyboard with built in

metal and can weight up to 30 lbs. To avoid injury during
installation watch for edges and corners on the assembly.

across the front bezel. It is recommended that you do not
remove it until the unit is installed in the rack, or when the
unit is set down on a level work area.

The monitor is shipped with a power cord compatible with
the AC wall outlet in your region. Use the supplied power
cord.

LCD controller. High voltages are present. Only qualified,
authorized electronics service personnel should access the
electronics components.
