OVERVIEW

The Vertiv™ Local Rack Access 18.5″ LED LCD console functions as an super video graphics array (SVGA) monitor and keyboard tray in one unit. It is equipped with a USB keyboard. It also has two USB 2.0-compliant pass-through ports, which provide faster data transmission between your console and connected USB 2.0 devices. For more information, see the USB 2.0 Speed Chart on page 12.

The console occupies 1RU (EIA term where 1RU = 1.75″ of the mounting height) of vertical space in a rack. This unit is installed with slide rails that accommodate a Vertiv branded KVM appliance in the same 1RU.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: The AC adaptor that is connected to the LCD monitor is not intended for use with other products. Do not disassemble the LCD monitor or remove the AC adaptor.

NOTE: The cabinet side rails may be boxed separately. If you are installing more than one unit at the same time, make sure to keep the outer slides with the same inner slides (mounted on the LCD tray) as matched pairs. Rails and units that shipped together must be paired together. Mismatched pairs may result in a damaged installation.

Installing the LCD Tray

Figure 2.3 Sliding the LCD Tray Lead-in Plastic Guide Assemblies Into the Rails

To install the LCD tray:

CAUTION: The slide rails have front and rear detents for retention. Be careful not to damage them during installation.

1. Ensure that the ball-bearing race is in the forward most position, touching the lead-in plastic guide.
   • CAUTION: Failure to engage the ball-bearing assembly with the plastic guide can cause damage to your rail.
2. Extend the inner part of the outer rails and slide the ball-bearing assemblies forward to the front of the outer rails.
3. Carefully slide the LCD tray into the ball-bearing assemblies in the rails. If necessary, loosen the Velcro® straps on the cable retractor to allow free and smooth movement of the cable retractor arm.
4. Align the unit with the rails, keeping the unit parallel at all times. Push the LCD tray completely into the rack. Pull the LCD tray out to the extended detent and then push it back into the docked position to seat the unit properly in the rails. The slide rails should roll smoothly.

NOTE: The set screws can be tightened after the unit is installed and centered.
