NTI RACKMUX-V15/17 RACKMOUNT LCD MONITOR WITH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE

An NTI RACKMUX with a 17” monitor supports resolutions up to SXGA (1280 x 1024) with a refresh rate at between 55 and 76Hz. When a 15” monitor is present, support for resolutions up to XGA (1024 x 768) apply with a refresh rate at between 55 and 76Hz. The quality of the image on the LCD monitor is adjustable using an On Screen Display (OSD) menu using the control buttons on the RACKMUX.

Standard Controls

The RACKMUX has 5 standard control buttons and a power LED. The 5 standard control buttons operate as follows:

	• The Power button turns the RACKMUX LCD and backlight ON and OFF as desired.
	• The Power LED located immediately below the Power button is a dual color	Power
