Navigating the LCD Parts of the LCD panel The top section of the LCD is the logo (Figure-1 item 1). The logo is always lit when there is AC power input to the chassis and the Management Module is functional. The logo has no response to touch. The middle section of the LCD is the active touch screen (Figure-1 item 2) where the user interaction occurs. The screen is arranged as a menu that contains buttons. Each button (Figure-1 item 3) contains a combination of icon and text.
Out-of-the-box initial deployment with LCD LCD navigation guide As a guide, the user touch interaction in the figures in this document is depicted as a light green airbrush. Although it is seemingly located at the corner of the screen so that it does not block the button text/icon, the actual press or touch is more effective if done in the middle. TIP: For a more responsive swipe, lightly touch the screen, then slowly and lightly make a sliding movement.
