A typical LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has millions of pixels. A dead
pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color
output. It most often looks like a tiny black or white spot on your screen,
although it can be any other color. Since even a tiny dust particle on one of the
pixels during the manufacturing process or a slight bump during shipping can
create a dead pixel, the ISO 13406-2 norm defines 4 classes of acceptable
screens with dead pixels--Class 1 is the best; Class 4 is the worst. Almost all
manufacturers use Class 2 to establish their warranties, which allows a certain
amount of dead pixels to exist before they will replace the screen. Since the
manufacturers consider these screens to be acceptable under ISO
specifications, we cannot be responsible for replacement or warranty of the
TFT LCD panel.

Introduction
Overview
The CL6700MW DVI Full HD LCD Console is a single rail KVM console
featuring a 17.3" HD widescreen with integrated keyboard and touchpad in a
1U rack-mountable sliding housing. The CL6700MW provides front end
access to compatible KVM switches and utilizes space by closing flat and
sliding into the rack. In addition, ports for an external USB keyboard and
mouse as well as a monitor are provided on the rear panel.
The CL6700MW features DVI, HDMI, and VGA ports for the KVM switch
and external console’s video connection. This added convenience provides
three video options for both the external console and KVM switch connection.
The CL6700MW also includes two mini stereo ports for connecting audio
speakers.
Server rooms already installed with compatible KVM switches will have the
advantage of easy LCD access, an additional KVM console, and a built-in
space saving sliding module, without having to purchase a new KVM switch.
The CL6700MW’s firmware is upgradable, so you can stay current with the
latest updates by downloading them from the ATEN website. Setup is fast and
easy. Simply use the custom cables included with your device to connect the
CL6700MW to the console ports of your KVM switch and you are ready to go!
