Testing the RackView Dual Rail
To test that the RackView is working properly, perform the following steps:
1. Power up the console, 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 or
press the Auto button on the left or underneath of the panel.
Configuring the Display Settings
After connecting the RackView Dual Rail console 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 for adjusting the display settings. However, the software and driver for
each video card is unique. In most cases, you adjust these settings by using a program or utility provided by
the manufacturer of the video card.
Most video cards use the Windows Display Properties control panel to configure the display. To open the
Windows Display Properties, click the right mouse button in a blank area of the Windows desktop and then
select Properties.
The Settings tab usually lets you change the Color Palette and the Desktop Area (x by y pixel resolution).
Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Display Properties control panel to give you
an exceptional setup that is flexible and easy to use. For example, the control panel may include an Advanced
Properties button, an Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for changing other settings. Other video cards have a
separate utility for setting display properties.
Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position, or shape may change.
This behaviour is normal. You can readjust the image using the panel on-screen controls.
For more information on configuring the display settings, refer to the manual that came with your video card.
You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position, contrast, and brightness to better suit your video card and
your personal preference.
Refer to the OSD section of this manual for more information on using the on-screen menu to adjust the video
display
