INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Command Console provides a liquid
crystal display, a desk work surface and
storage for any size keyboard and mouse
in a 3.5” high (2U) standard 19” rack or
transit case.
Specially designed locks on each side of
the Command Console hold the compact
folded unit securely in place during stor-
age.
Release of the two Z-Locks on the front
sides of the Console allow it to slide out
and the LCD display to quickly swing up
into a reading position.
By lifting up the desktop, the keyboard and
mouse can be easily removed and set on
top.
The lightweight and durable aluminum
construction provides exceptional strength
in field applications.
The high quality LCD screen provides full
color and features up to 1280 x 1024 pixel
resolution.
It can be easily adjusted to various verti-
cal-viewing angles. The display works
effectively with any workstation.
An electrostatically-applied and baked-on
finish is used for extreme durability for
shipboard, airborne, field deployments,
and industrial or lab applications where
weight and size are very critical.
With up to two Picture-in-Picture capabil-
ity, a zoom feature and softmenus to allow
for remote administration, the Command
Console 19” is a 2U powerhouse.

INSTALLATION
SLIDE REMOVAL
With the Console sitting
on a workbench with the
front facing towards you,
press down to release the
Z-Locks on each side of the
front of the Console to slide
the side rails back.
The slide rail will reach a
stop about half way back.
This is a safety stop to
prevent the Console from
sliding out too far while
mounted to the rack.
Simultaneously press in
the safety catches on each
slide rail and slide the side
rails all the way off the back
of the Console.
On the front of the cabinet
frame, use three Phillips
screws on each side to
secure the right and left
Z-Lock mounts.
DO NOT tighten these
screws to allow for adjust-
ment of the Console within
the cabinet frame.
On the rear of the cabinet
frame, use three Phillips
screws to loosely secure
the right and left rear slide
mount to the cabinet frame.
DO NOT tighten these
screws fully at this time.
INSTALL THE SLIDES IN THE CABINET FRAME
The slides should now
be separated from the
Console.
Each slide unit includes
the slide rail, with the front
Z-lock mount and the rear
mount.
On the slide rails, using a
slot screwdriver, loosen
off the slide extension rail
screw. Repeat on each
side.
