Turning on the Console

Make sure all cables and the power adapter are connected properly. Be sure to tighten all connector screws. Grab the front handle and pull the console all the way out then lift the panel up. The power LED underneath the LCD monitor will light up green.

Configuring Display Settings

After connecting the rack console and turning on your computer, you may need to configure one or more of the following display settings to allow the computer to display at the console’s native resolution. See Specifications for the correct resolution mode for your model.

Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution)

Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync)

Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors)

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. For example, 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.
