1 Overview The Dell 1U Rackmount LED Console is designed from the latest flat-panel monitor technology and provides a performance-oriented product with no mercury. This product uses a D-Sub 15-pin VGA connector and can support 28 VESA modes, VESA DPMS power management and plug-and-play function. Its design conserves rack space compared to a traditional CRT monitor. In addition, the flat-panel monitor consumes less power.
Rackmount LED Console Contents The LED console includes the following items: • One 1U Rackmount LED Console • One pair of Dell ReadyRails™ II slide rails • One pair of Rack Travel Locks • Quick Installation Guide • Safety and Regulatory Guide • CD Figure 1.1.
2 Installation Installing into the Rack This section provides instructions for installing the Dell 1U Rackmount LED Console Tray in a four-post rack cabinet. The pullout tray assembly features a keyboard with touchpad and a flat-panel monitor that rotates up from the console tray for use. An attached cable-management arm routes the monitor, power, USB and keyboard/touchpad cables to the back of the rack. The monitor's power supply is installed on the console tray.
To install tool-less rails: 1 Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward, and orient each end piece to seat in the holes on the front side of the vertical rack flanges. 2 Align each end piece in the bottom and top holes of the desired U spaces until the latch clicks into place. 3 Engage the back end of the rail until it fully seats on the vertical rack flange and the latch clicks into place. Figure 2.1.
Preparing to install tooled rails: 1 Remove the screw from the front mounting bracket using a torx-head screwdriver, then remove the pins from the front and rear mounting brackets using a flat-tipped screwdriver. 2 Pull and rotate the rail latch subassemblies to remove them from the mounting brackets. Figure 2.2.
Installing tooled rails: 1 Attach the left and right mounting rails to the front vertical rack flanges using two pairs of screws. 2 Slide the left and right back brackets forward against the rear vertical rack flanges and attach them using two pairs of screws. Figure 2.3.
To install the console tray: NOTE: Ensure that the system is properly supported until the chassis rail members are inserted into the slide rails on both sides. 1 Pull the sliding rails out of the rack until they are fully extended. 2 Align and insert the ends of the chassis rail members into the ends of the rails. 3 Push the system inward until the chassis rail members are fully inserted. 4 Pull and push the console tray in and out of the rack until it slides smoothly within the rack. Figure 2.4.
To install the cable management arm (CMA): 1 From the back of the rack, cut the zip tie that secures the CMA to the back of the tray. 2 Swing the free end of the CMA out to the bracket on the end of the left stationary rail. 3 Attach the CMA to the bracket with the captive screw on the end of the arm. Figure 2.5.
To thread the cables to the back of the rack: 1 Gently thread the cables through the cable channel on the CMA, then secure the cables to the slide rail, ensuring they aren't pulled too tight. Figure 2.6.
