Starting Point Congratulations on selecting a rugged field-ready Glider -- the most advanced flat panel display available. SHIPMENT CONTENTS USER MANUAL The Glider shipping box contains the following: The User Manual comes in two formats: printed hardcopy or CDROM. This Manual is also available on the Z Microsystems website (www.zmicro.com).
Starting Point PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Glider is an advanced spacesaving drawer mount high-end rugged liquid crystal display. The LCD display can quickly swing up into a reading position. The Glider can be oriented for a portrait format. The unique Glider design allows flat panels up to 20.1 to fold into a 2U (3.5) drawer space in standard 19 racks and transit cases. Specially designed quickrelease locks hold the compact folded Glider securely in place during storage.
Starting Point TOOLS REQUIRED Required Tools and Equipment. Flathead screwdriver with about 10" shaft. Phillips screwdriver with about 10" shaft. Adjustable wrench or box wrenches. WARNING: To avoid shock hazard: Do not remove the covers around the Glider. Do not connect or disconnect the Glider during an electrical storm. The power cord plug must be connected to a properly wired and grounded power outlet.
Install Slides SLIDE REMOVAL With the Glider laid on a workbench, press down to release the ZLocks on each side of the front of the Glider to slide the side rails back. The slide rails will reach a stop about half way back. This is a safety stop to prevent the Glider from sliding out too far while mounted in the rack. Simultaneously press in the safety catches on each slide rail and slide the side rails all the way off the back of the Glider. 7 Doc# 27-0006UM Issued 11/00 Rev 1.
Install Slides INSTALL THE SLIDES IN CABINET FRAME Each slide unit includes the slide rail, the front Z-Lock mount and the rear mount. The top notch of the ZLock must align with the slide rail top ridge. On the rear of the cabinet frame, use three Phillips screws to loosely secure the right and left rear slide mounts to the cabinet frame. DO NOT tighten these screws fully. As seen from this reverse view, align the slider into the Z-Lock bracket grooves so all three screw holes show.
