Introduction
The Flat Panel Monitor Rackmount (TFT450R) is a convenient rack mount
system for easy monitor storage and access. Use the fixed position mounting
bracket to affix the monitor to the front of your rack for constant access.
The retractable assembly occupies 2Us of Compaq rack space and can be used
with all Compaq Rack Series servers. The fixed mounting bracket assembly
occupies 8Us of Compaq rack space and can be used with all Compaq Rack
Series servers.
The Compaq TFT450 Flat Panel Monitor has a 14.5-inch (36.83 cm) flat panel
screen with an active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display
(LCD). It supports resolutions up to 1024 x 768, and has typical viewing
angles of 120 degrees horizontally and 100 degrees vertically.

Graphics Driver
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is
compatible with your computer's graphics adapter. Compaq has created a
Universal Driver Manager (UDM) release that supports all Compaq QVision,
S3, Cirrus Logic, and Matrox graphics adapters found on Compaq products.
The UDM eases graphic driver deployment across Compaq platforms ensuring
cross-compatibility and backward-compatibility. The resulting solution
enables you to manage and control ongoing software maintenance costs. The
UDM is available on the Support Software CD for Compaq products and the
Compaq website (www.compaq.com).

User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not present
if you are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter or you are not using a
preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen
by using the on-screen display. User changes can be made to any or all of
these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new

Care and Maintenance
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq monitor
during normal everyday use.
Protecting the Monitor
To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of damage:
n Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as
indicated on the marking label/back plate.
n If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the cord or
strip is rated for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all
products plugged into the extension cord or power strip do not exceed
80% of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.
n Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience
receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the branch
circuit rating. If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80%
of the power strip input rating.
n Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect
the product by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet.
Never disconnect it by pulling the cord.

Electrostatic Discharge
Precautions
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to
follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static
electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or
other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life
expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
n Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe
containers.
n Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
static-free workstations.
n Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
containers.
n Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
n Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Compaq Flat Panel Monitor Rackmount (TFT450R) User Guide
B-2
n Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation
or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
1 megohm 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
n Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear
the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating
floor mats.
n Use conductive field service tools.
n Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating
work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have
an Authorized Compaq Reseller install the part.
For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation,
NOTE:
contact your Authorized Compaq Reseller.
