KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai User Manual
Screen Resolutions Higher than 1280 x 1024
The maximum screen resolution of the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai'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 KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai's LCD monitor:
Note: We strongly recommend that you close the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai
LCD console before continuing (see Closing the Console, page 27.)
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.

is closed, simply connect an external KVM console with a monitor that
supports 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz to the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai's external
console ports.
