Installing and Removing the Front Bezel

The optional front bezels provide a snap-on design that allows for maximum airflow through

the server chassis.

To install the front bezel:

1. Insert a key into each lock.

2. Turn each key clockwise for a quarter turn.

3. Place the bezel, with the Avid logo on the left, over the handles of the rackmount ears.

4. Lock the bezel in place by turning the keys counterclockwise for a quarter turn.

5. Store the bezel keys in a safe place for future use.

Be careful that the bezel does not contact the power switch because you could power off

the system by accident.

To remove the front bezel:

1. Insert a key into each lock.

2. Turn each key clockwise for a quarter turn.

3. Pull the bezel away from the front panel.

Using a KVM to Connect a Keyboard, Monitor, and

Mouse

An industry standard USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA monitor are used to access the

AS3000. When installed in a rack with several servers an optional KVM switch can also be

used. The keyboard, monitor, and mouse connections use the same ports described in the

following procedure. Follow the instruction supplied with your KVM switch. You need to

supply KVM cables that are compatible with your KVM switch.

There are only two USB ports on the rear of the server. One of the ports is typically used for

the application key. When you purchase your KVM switch make sure it includes a USB

splitter cable so that both your keyboard and mouse can plug into the splitter cable and use

a single USB port on the server.

To connect a standard keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the AS3000:

1. Install your KVM switch in a suitable slot next to the AS3000 in the rack.

You can also place the monitor on a shelf, and the keyboard and mouse on a sliding tray

in the rack. These items are optional and can be purchased locally or from Avid.
