1 General Information
1.1 Overview
The freeView XL C11H is an ideal solution for managing one or more servers in a rack. Its ability to

compact industrial keyboard/touchpad create a user-friendly and reliable device. All of these functions
are integrated into a unit which only takes up 1U of a 19-inch rack to conserve precious rack space
and provide for a highly reliable device.

2 Installation
2.1 Installing the Video Card and Video Driver
Before connecting the freeView XL C11H to the computer, make sure the computer has a video card
installed for the monitor. After you connect the drawer (see Section 2.3 for details), install the video
card driver supplied by the manufacturer of the video card. If you need information on installing your
video card or video driver, refer to the manual for your video card.
2.2 Configuring the Display Settings
After connecting the drawer and turning on your computer, you may need to configure one or more of
the following display settings:
• Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution)
• Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync)
• Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors)
Each video card has several controls that let you adjust the display settings. In some cases, you can
adjust these settings by using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of the video card. You
can also use the Windows Display Properties to configure the video settings. To open the Windows
Display Properties screen, right-click in a blank area on the Windows desktop and then select
Properties. The Settings tab lets you change the Color Quality and Screen Resolution.
Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position, or shape may
change. This behavior is normal. You can re-adjust the image using the monitor’s on-screen controls
(see Section 3 for details).
2.3 Connecting to a Computer
To connect the freeView XL C11H to a computer, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off your computer (You should always turn off your computer before connecting or
disconnecting a device).
2. Connect the end of the provided KVM cable with a single 15-pin connector to the back of the
freeView XL C11H.
3. Connect the 15-pin (VGA) connector on the other end of the KVM cable to the VGA port on your
computer.
4. Identify and connect the PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard connector to the correct PS/2 ports on
your computer.
5. Connect the AC adapter to a power outlet and the other end into the power receptacle on the
drawer.
2.4 Turning On the Unit
Make sure all cables and the power cord are connected properly. Be sure to tighten all connector
screws. Using two hands, grasp the rear of the drawer, lift the tab and pull the panel up and forward.
This will disengage the soft power switch and the unit should power on.

2.5 Testing the Unit
To test that the drawer is working properly, perform the following steps:
1. Power up the drawer, and then turn on your computer.
2. Make sure the video image is centered within the screen area. Use the OSD controls to adjust the
image (see note below) or press the Auto button on the front panel to automatically adjust the
video settings.
Note: If the unit does not power up when the panel is pulled up, try pushing the soft
power on/off button on the left side of the monitor panel to power up the unit.
Note: You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position, contrast, and brightness to
better suit your video card and your personal preference. Refer to Section 2 for more
information on using the on-screen menu to adjust the video display
Before you begin, make sure to power off all devices that you will be connecting to the unit. To prevent
