System Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics RackView Sideways Console Drawer. This product is available in
two models; the 21" HD (1920 x 1080) and the 24" ultra-high resolution (1920 x 1200). The RackView is the
ideal product for managing one or more PC’s/Servers in a confined rack space.
RackView Sideways offers the latest and most efficient way to organize and streamline your server rooms or
multiple computers. Since the display is wider than a standard 19" rack, the rack mountable KVM station pulls
out via its slide rails and the hinged display opens at right angles to the rack. The easy-glide KVM station
contains a high-resolution bright active matrix TFT display that provides crisp images at up to 1920×1200, wide
viewing angles, a tactile keyboard, and a 2-button touchpad mouse or trackball.
There are several options available with the RackView Sideways, including the integration of a VGA/USB or
DVI/USB KVM switch for PC/Server management, providing an all-in-one console management solution.
The instructions in this manual assume a general knowledge of computer installation procedures, familiarity
with cabling requirements, and some understanding video display device operation.
