■ The device is designed for IT power distribution systems with 100-240V single phase voltage
■ To prevent damage to your installation, it is important that all devices are properly grounded
■ The device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Always follow your local/national wiring codes
■ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over
■ If an extension cord is used with this device, make sure that the total Ampere ratings of all products used on this cord does not exceed the extension cord Ampere rating.
Make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 Amperes.
■ To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or un- interruptible power supply (UPS)
■ Position system cables and power cables carefully; Be sure that nothing rests on any cable
■ Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock

■ Only adjust those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage that will require extensive work by a qualified technician to repair
■ Do not connect the Audio Jack connector marked “UPGRADE” to a public telecommunication network
■ Avoid circuit overloads. Before connecting equipment to a circuit, know the power supply’s limit and never exceed it. Always review the electrical specifications of a circuit to ensure that you are not creating a dangerous condition or that one does not already exist. Circuit overloads can cause a fire and destroy equipment.

Rack Mounting

■ Before working on the rack, please make sure that the stabilizers are secure to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor.
Install the front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
■ Always load the rack from the bottom up and load the heaviest item in the rack first
■ Please make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack
■ Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers
■ Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating
■ Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and other electrical connectors – is properly grounded
■ Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack
■ Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the equipment by the manufacturer
■ Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack ■ Caution: Slide/rail (LCD KVM) mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space

Console selection is accomplished with the following hotkey combinations:

Combination Action Beeps LEDs
[Ctrl][Alt][Shift][P][C][Enter] To select normal mode (PC, etc) 2 None
[Ctrl][Alt][Shift][M][A][C] [Enter] To select Mac 2 None
[Ctrl][Alt][Shift][S][U][N] [Enter] To select SUN 2 None
[Ctrl][Alt][Shift][L][Enter] Activates the Firmware Upgrade Mode

Note: this Hotkey sequence only works when the Firmware Upgrade Recovery Switch is in NORMAL position| None| 3

Note:

  1. Press the keys in sequence, one key at a time. First [Ctrl], then [Alt], then [Shift], etc.
  2. When activating hotkey combinations [Ctrl] [Alt] [Shift], make sure you are using the keys on the same side of the keyboard.
  3. Console selections are not saved. If the GCL1900W is powered off, it will revert to the default setting when it is powered on again
  4. If a KVM switch connected to the GCL1900W uses the [Ctrl][Alt][Shift] combination to invoke its hokey mode, you would not be able to access any of its hotkey operations because the GCL1900W will capture the combination for the console selection first.
