Intrusion Detect option
The Intrusion Detect option allows the administrator to use the DWorks Administration Utility to
monitor access to the top cover of the Desktop Appliance. The Intrusion Detect option alerts the
administrator when the top cover is removed, even when the unit is powered down. If you have
purchased the Intrusion Detect option, please refer to the installation instructions supplied for
further details.
Loose Link protection
The Digital Desktop System Loose Link feature allows for momentary interruptions of the
connection between the computer and the Desktop Appliance without system lockup.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The Digital Desktop System delivers significantly lower TCO when compared to traditional
distributed computer systems. Centralized maintenance enables greater security and convenience as
well as reduced workplace disruption and down-time. Relocating the computer away from the user
frees up valuable office space and reduces desktop power and heating, ventilation and air-
conditioning (HVAC) requirements.
Safety Precautions
To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products:
• If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same
phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the
following precautions:
• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any configuration of this product.
• Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup Unin-
terruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and the unit off the supply.
NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
• Product configurations that are equipped with a laser device comply with the appropriate
safety standards including IEC 825. If the product variation that you have purchased does con-
tains a laser device, it is classified as a Class 1 laser product as defined by IEC 825.
