Getting Information Through the Onboard LCD
The MPH2's main screen is displayed when the rack PDU is first powered up; see Figure 3. The
onboard LCD returns to the main screen from any other view after 5 minutes of inactivity (no keys
being pressed).
The Left and Right arrow keys below the onboard LCD move the cursor across the bottom of the
screen. When the cursor is over the desired symbol, press the Select key to display information about
that portion of the MPH2. The keys permit moving one level at a time through the levels of the MPH2
menus.
Example: Use the arrow keys to move the cursor over branch names (A or B) or outlet
names (numbers 1 - 8). Press the Select key and the screen displays information about the selected
branch or outlet. The screen retains the view if no key is pressed for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of
inactivity, the onboard LCD returns to the main screen.
