Rack console

The rack console contains the following in a compact 19'' slide-in housing (1 HU):

• A fold-out 17'' TFT color LCD monitor with a control panel and screen menu

• A keyboard with US/international assignment with an integrated number pad

• A touchpad with a scroll bar

• Left and right mouse buttons

Monitor, keyboard and touchpad are protected in the slide-in module.

The rack console serves as the local console:

• Entries from the rack console are normally transferred to the Management Unit.

  Outputs to the rack console normally come from the Management Unit, depending on the setting of the console switch, see section "Console switch".

• After you have logged in on the local console, you can call the SE Manager via the local desktop's browser.

Safety instructions

• Pull the rack console slowly toward you until the slide rails lock. If the slide rails are not locked, the rack console can move unexpectedly. Be careful not to catch your fingers when you pull or push on the slide module or when you open or close the LCD, etc.

• Do not apply any strong force to the rack console when it is pulled out or when the monitor is opened and being used.

• Do not press strongly on the monitor's screen, scratch it with sharp objects, or bring magnetic objects near it. Doing so can damage the monitor.

• Note that the corners of the open device can be dangerous if bumped into. Always be careful when the device is open.

• We recommend that you store the rack console in the rack when not in use.

Notes on the LCD Display

• While the on-screen display may shift, blink, or otherwise be disturbed just after the power is turned on or the OS starts up/shuts down, this does not indicate a machine failure, and the device may be used normally.

• While 1280 × 1024 is the native full-screen resolution, the LCD display is full screen for all resolutions.
  For resolutions other than 1280 × 1024, characters may be blurred and the thickness of thin lines can be uneven.
  This is because the full-screen display is made by digital interpolation of the low-res output, not by physical magnification. This is not a machine failure, and the device may be used normally.

• Although there might be some always-off dots or some always-on dots, this is accepted as it is a natural characteristic of LCDs, not as a fatal imperfection. So use this device normally.

Keyboard operations

Using the Fn key on the compact layout keyboard of this device allows functions equivalent to a full keyboard.

• By pressing both the Fn key and a key with underscored characters, you can use the function indicated by the characters (for example, Scr Lk, Prt Sc, and SysRq).

• When the Num Lock LED is lit, the functions indicated by the enclosed characters shown on some keys are enabled.

Notes on the pointing device

The pointing device does not work correctly if you operate it in the following ways:
