I am running out of space in my server cabinet and need to get rid of the standard LCD monitor and put in a sliding LCD Monitor/keyboard. This will give me a lot more space and make it easier to work directly on the servers. It has features such as flip-up design, adjustable brackets, built in LCD OSD. KVM Drawer with PS2 switch is a cost effective solution for limited IT budgets. Designed to work seamlessly with any PS/2-platform KVM Switch, the Console offers three power on/off methods: a front-control button; an LCD power-save (with drawer closure); and an LCD panel button. The LCD panel features front-panel controls and on-screen display for easy adjustment.

Mounted into a standard 19-inch rack, the drawers offer a multitude of configurations particularly in the LCD monitors with sizes from 15-inch, 17-inch to 19-inch, along with either tilt forward or back; trackballs and touchpad pointing devices; integration with KVM switching products; support for multiple platforms; and security mechanisms. The most common types of servers are mail servers, database/file servers, web servers, and application servers (SAP, ADP). RMD815 rack-mount drawer displays are plug-and-play compatible replacements for space and power consuming CRTs in standard 19-inch instrumentation racks.

The reduction from a 10U panel to a 1U drawer nearly represents a 90% reduction in rack height and a reduction of nearly 150 watts when converting from conventional CRT to our 1U Rack-mount drawer series of displays. The Rackmount Keyboard Drawer is easy to install because it attaches securely to the rack at only two points.

You can simply place it on desktop or mount it on a standard 19-inch rack for more secured and centralized management. The 1U high design saves valuable rack space in SMB server rooms and is flash upgradeable for fast and easy updates. The SwitchView 1000 features password protection for added security access to your business-critical servers. For smaller deployments, a desktop model placed on top of a rack component might suffice. When environments are prohibitive to wired installations, wireless KVMs are also available.

You are watching a video on your computer and running a few programs in the background. All of a sudden the video freezes or slows down. What do you do?

When this happened to one guy, he turned off his computer. When he turned it back on, it would not work properly. Even after using a restore program, it still would not work. Since one of my programs was running in the background, he blamed it on my program. The real problem was that he reacted incorrectly.

1) The first thing that you should do when the computer freezes is wait. If the above person had simply waited a few minutes everything would have been OK. In the early days of computers, all we did was wait on our computers, but now computers are so fast that if a person has to wait a few seconds he thinks something is wrong. Before you do anything, wait five or ten minutes.

2) If after waiting, your computer is still running slowly, you should close down all of the programs that you are not using. A computer can only do so much at one time. Closing down programs that you are not using frees up resources so that your computer can run better.

3) Next, try pressing the three keys: Ctrl, Alt, Delete. This is often called the three finger salute. Only press them once and press them all at the same time, then wait. Eventually, the Windows Task Manager window will be displayed. This lists the applications and processes that are running. You can use this to close down more applications or processes that may be hogging resources. If you have viruses or spyware running in the background, they will usually be listed in the processes section and you can close them from there. Processes connected to running applications or Windows processes should not be closed down, but viruses and spyware should be closed.

When you close an application using End Task, it will inform the application and the application may respond with a message, like "Are you sure you want to quit". If you answer the message given by the application, End Task will quit closing it down, so if you want End Task to force close the application, do not answer the message given by the application. End Task will wait for ten seconds or so and then close the application.

4) Try closing Windows. Sometimes the only alternative to a frozen system is to restart Windows. Close Windows in the normal way.

5) It is dangerous to shut down the computer without first closing Windows, but if you can't get Windows to close, you may have to shut down your computer. This should only be done as a last resort. This can be done on most computers by holding the Power button in for five seconds.
