Install the console
Tip! It's easier to install the console if another person helps you with
the installation.
Warning: Use caution and proper lifting techniques when installing
the LCD rack console.
1. Based on the mounting depth in the server rack that you are
using, select the appropriate length of mounting rails.
2. Decide where in the server rack you want to install the LCD rack
console.
3. Insert the M5 cage nuts (two per mounting post) into the square
mounting holes on the mounting posts.
4. Align the rear mounting brackets (rails) with the M5 cage nuts on
the corresponding mounting post.
5. Insert a M5 screw (two per mounting post) through the rear
mounting bracket (rail) and into the M5 cage nut. Do not tighten
the M5 screws.
6. With assistance, slide the LCD rack console into the server rack
guiding the rear mounting bracket (rails) into the rail assembly.
7. Insert a M5 screw (two per mounting post) through the front
mounting bracket (rail) into the M5 cage nut.
8. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the M5 screws.
9. Ensure that the rear rails are properly aligned.
10. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the M5 screws.
Grounding the LCD Console
Notes: Grounding wires are typically green or green with a yellow
stripe, and should be at least 18 AWG.
Grounding is recommended in all environments and essential in
environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI),
or frequent electrical surges.
1. Using a Phillips Head Screwdriver, loosen the Grounding
Connection Screw.
2. Attach the Grounding Wire to the shaft of the Grounding
Connection Screw.
3. Tighten the Grounding Connection Screw, making sure not to
over-tighten.
4. Attach the other end of the Grounding Wire (not connected
to the LCD Rackmount Console) to a proper earth-ground
connection.
