Page 9: Operation
Operation This section covers the operation of the console; opening/closing the LCD and Keyboard modules, hot plugging, hotkeys, etc. Opening and Closing the Console Modules The B021-02R-17 features dual rail technology, which allows the LCD module to slide independently of the keyboard module, letting you slide the keyboard module back into the rack while leaving the LCD module open for monitoring the connected computer or KVM. This section describes how to open and close each module. Note: The maximum load bearing capacity of the keyboard module is 66 lbs. (30 kg.). Do not lean your body weight on the keyboard module, or place heavy objects on it. Opening the Console Modules The console modules can be opened together or separately. To open the console modules, simply slide the console release tabs inward, and then slide the modules out of the rack until they lock into place. Release Catch The LCD module extends further than the keyboard module, so if you open both at the same time, pull them until the keyboard module locks into place, and then pull the LCD module separately until it locks into place. When the LCD module is locked into place, rotate it all the way back so that the LCD is displayed. - Page 10 Operation continued Closing the Console Modules To close the keyboard module, slide the release catches on both sides of the unit forward and push the keyboard module into the rack. You can let go of the release catches once the unit has been pushed forward, and slide the unit the rest of the way into the rack. To close the LCD module, rotate the display all the way down, and then pull the release catches on each side of the unit forward. Push the module all the way into the rack.
