Product Usage Instructions

• Mains Inlet:
  The FLX & ZerOS Server have a Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 (NAC3MPX) mains inlet on the back panel. To power on the desk, use the power on/off switch. If the desk does not power up and you suspect that the fuse has failed, contact an authorized service agent as the internal fuse is not user replaceable. When using a UK style plug (BS 1363), make sure to fit a 5A fuse.

• USB Ports:
  The FLX has five external USB ports, two located on the rear of the console, one on the front panel, and one on either side. The ZerOS Server has three external USB ports, two located on the rear of the server and one on the front. These USB ports support the USB 2.0 standard and are overload protected in pairs. If a USB device tries to draw too much power, ZerOS will disable that pair of ports until the device is unplugged. The USB ports can be used for connecting:

  • Wings
  • Keyboard & Mouse
  • External Touchscreen (DVI-D also required)
  • External Storage Devices (such as Memory Sticks)
  • USB Desk Lights
    Note: Do not plug in devices that break the Universal Serial Bus standard to avoid damage to the FLX.

• Ethernet:
  The FLX & ZerOS Server are fitted with a Neutrik etherCON RJ45 Ethernet port. They are capable of supporting various Ethernet protocols.

• Kensington Lock:
  A Kensington-style lock slot is provided on the FLX & ZerOS Server for securing the console to an operating location using a standard laptop lock cable.
