Testing the Console

Each video card has several controls that allow you to adjust the display settings, however, the software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you can adjust these settings using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of the video card. Most video cards use the Windows Display Properties control panel to configure the display. To open the Windows Display Properties, click the right mouse button in a blank area of the Windows desktop and then select Properties. The Settings tab usually lets you change the Color Palette and the Desktop Area (X by Y pixel resolution).

Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Display Properties control panel giving you an extra setup options that are flexible and easy to use. Forexample, the control panel may include an Advanced Properties button, an Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for changing other settings. Other video cards have a separate utility for setting display properties.

Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position, or shape may change. This behavior is normal.You can readjust the image using the monitor on-screen controls. For more information on the monitor on-screen controls, refer to Panel controls and OSD functions. For more information on configuring the display settings, please refer to the manual that accompanied your video card.

To test that the console is working properly, perform the following steps:

1.Power up the rack console, and then turn on your computer.

2.Make sure the video image is centered within the screen area. Use the OSD controls to adjust the image (see Panel controls and OSD functions) or press the Auto button on the right hand side of the monitor.

Note: If the unit does not power up when the panel is pulled up, try pushing the soft power on/off button on the right side of the monitor panel to power up the unit.

Note: You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position, contrast, and brightness to better suit your video card and your personal preference.

Before you begin, make sure that power to all of the devices you will be connecting to the console have been turned off. To prevent damage to your installation due to ground potential difference, make sure that all of the devices being installed are properly grounded. Once all peripherals have been connected, please power them on.
