1

Unleash the Power Cord

The 10-foot Power Cord is tucked inside the back of the cabinet. Looking at the back of the cart, find the grommet hole beside the right handle. Thread the plug through the grommet hole, pull the cord through, and wind around the handle.

2Always Turn Off the Power to the Cart before Plugging In Or Out!

Setting the Combination Locks

Your new Intelligent Laptop Computer Cart comes equipped with two re-settable Combination Padlocks. You can program them with the same combination or different combinations – the choice is yours. Each lock starts with 0-0-0-0. Follow the directions with the lock for changing the combination. Remember to depress the shackle before un-engaging it from the lock.

“What do the lights mean?”

Turn on Red Power Switch.

Green light glows as long as the Red Power Switch is turned on. Power is now on inside the laptop cart. Always-On Electrical Outlet stays on as long as the Red Power Switch is on. (see below)

Left alone, the Brain will automatically turn on the Yellow light, which means that all power is being sent to charge the computer batteries.

Mode	Green	= Power On
Button	Yellow	= Power to the all the laptops

Power Strips A & B & C are controlled by the “Brain”, which shifts the power from one strip to the other, and even allows a “Turbo Charge”, where all available power is sent to either Power Strip A or B or C – Steps 3 & 4 & 5

•Only One Electrical Plug to the wall outlet reduces nuisance tripping of circuit breakers.

•“Round Robin” sequencing evaluates the demand for power from each electrical strip of ten computers, concentrating on those batteries that have the most demand for power.

•“Round Robin” also allows each electrical strip time to cool down. Cooler batteries last longer, and extended battery life saves you money.

•A Divider Panel separates the computer/battery from the transformer, minimizing the transformer’s heat impact on the battery … cooler batteries last longer.

•The Brain recognizes as batteries become charged, and sends only enough power to keep the batteries well within their thermal limits, drawing only the required power and saving you money.

•A single Mode Button lets you cycle through the various settings, while the LED lights help keep track of what the power system is doing.

•Two Auxiliary Outlets on the top of the cart let you use a video projector or a printer with confidence, since the Brain will dedicate the power to those accessories when you need to use them. Accidentally overloading the circuit is minimized!

Always-On Electrical Outlet Under the Brain, accessible from the rear of the cart, is one unique Electrical Outlet, rated for 1 Amp. This outlet is for a Wireless Access Point.

The Wireless Access Point’s power cord can be routed through the cart at the side cord-pass-thru-hole, opposite the cart’s power cord. Remember, the outlet is maximum 1 Amp, only.
