Installing the High-Connectivity Cradle

To install the high-connectivity cradle,

1.Determine the appropriate desktop location. Account for:

•Distance to an AC outlet.

•Distance from desk edge to allow for easy access and positioning of a keyboard and mouse pad.

•Desk or table legs so it is easy to sit in front of and use the system.

•Routing the AC adapter power cord over the back edge of the desk, a notch in the desktop, or through a hole drilled in the desktop. Ensure that the wire will not get entangled in the user’s feet or in the feet of those who walk by the desk.

2.Turn the cradle upside-down.

3.Attach the keyboard, mouse, and floppy disk drive cables, if used, and other peripheral devices that will be used with the cradle to the corresponding ports on the bottom of the cradle module. Note that you can route these cables through the following paths:

•Through the cutouts provided in the front and sides of the cradle base called out in Figure 2-11.

•Out the back of the cradle base via the channel in the middle.

4.Turn the high-usage cradle upside-up and place it at the desired location. (Be sure the cables are still routed properly and are not pinched under the cradle base.)

5.Check for free play of the cradle module by adjusting the viewing angle. To do so, loosen the adjusting knob and rock the cradle module forward and backward. After you verify that the wires do not bind or restrict use of the cradle, tighten the knob.

6.Ensure that the high-usage cradle is in the desired location.

7.As an optional step, you can secure the cradle at the work site using the following methods:

•Secure the cradle using a Kensington lock. The cradle base provides a Kensington Security Standard slot, called out in Figure 2-10, which is designed for use with Kensington locking devices such as the Kensington MicroSaver security system. Contact a Kensington dealer to obtain an appropriate security product.

•Fasten the cradle to the desktop by installing 1/4” screws in the mounting holes in the cradle base. The location of the mounting holes in the cradle base are shown in Figure 2-9. (Obtain screws of an appropriate type for your installation.)

8.Attach the power cord to the AC adapter and plug the other end into the AC outlet.

The high-connectivity cradle is ready to use. To confirm that external power is being supplied to the pen tablet by the AC adapter, see “Confirming External Power Is Supplied” at the end of this chapter.

Peripheral connectors on the high-connectivity cradle are described in Table 2-4. Figure 2-11 shows the location of these connectors on the high-connectivity cradle. Note that the ability of the pen tablet to
