Screen Resolutions Higher than 1280 x 1024

The maximum screen resolution of the B020-008-17-IP’s integrated LCD monitor is 1280 x 1024. In order to protect it from being damaged by resolutions that are beyond its display capability, we recommend that the screen resolutions of the connected computers be set to 1280 x 1024 or lower.

If you wish to display screen resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024, follow the procedure described below to change the computers’ screen resolutions and safeguard the B020-008-17-IP’s LCD monitor:

Note: We strongly recommend that you close the B020-008-17-IP LCD console before continuing (see Closing the Console, page 35.) Using the LCD monitor to view computers that are set to resolutions that exceed its maximum capability can damage it and shorten its life span.

To access computers from the local console when the integrated console is closed, simply connect an external KVM console with a monitor that supports 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz to the B020-008-17-IP’s external console ports.
