14.Appendix (continued)

14.4Screen Resolutions Higher than 1280 x 1024

The maximum screen resolution of the NetDirector Console KVM Switch with IP Access 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 KVM switch’s LCD monitor:

Note: • We strongly recommend that you close the KVM switch’s LCD console before continuing.

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 KVM switch’s external console ports.
