TCO’99

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labeled product! Your choice
has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also con­tributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of
environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encourag­ing the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as
computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both
in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment
to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the
viewpoints of both the work (Internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of conventional electric­ity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste,
etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy since
they are often left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and environmental
labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Con­servation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and mag­netic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlori­nated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared
for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan which must be adhered to in each country
where the company implements its operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer
and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more
stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and
magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the
spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most
flame retardants contain bromine or chloride and these are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs,
which are suspected to give rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and
mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and research­ers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants
with organically bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no
substitutes are available.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and
in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.
TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certain computer displays. Cad­mium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating layers of display screens and the electrical or elec­tronics components must not contain any cadmium.

TCO’99 - Continued

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches, Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in
high doses.
TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in
any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage
the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent in­creased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing and assembly of
the product or its packaging.
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE

THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND

USING THE LCD COLOR DISPLAY:

• DO NOT OPEN THE DISPLAY. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your display near water.

• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful

or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.

• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the display may fall, causing serious damage to

the display.

• Do not place any objects onto the display and do not use the display outdoors.

• The inside of the fluorescent tube located within the LCD display contains mercury. Please follow the bylaws or rules of

your municipality to dispose of the tube properly.

Immediately unplug your display from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the display.

• If the display has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the display has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

• If the display does not operate normally by following operating instructions.

• Do not bend power cord.

• Do not use display in high temperature, humid, dusty, or oily areas.

• Do not cover vent on display.

• If display is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal.

• If glass is broken. Handle with care.

• Allow adequate ventilation around the display so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated
openings or place the display near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of
display.

• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power supply. The
display should be installed close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.

• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

• Image Persistence: Image persistence is when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the
screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitor’s image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for
a long period of time should be avoided.

To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an
image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to
erase the image.

NOTE: As with all personal display devices, Silicon Graphics recommends using a moving screen saver at regular
intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.

CAUTION

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE DISPLAY CAN

REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE DISPLAY:

•For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.

• Adjust the display height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.

•Position your display no closer than 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your
eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 6 m away. Blink often.

•Position the display at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize
glare and reflections. Adjust the display tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your
screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an antiglare filter.

• Clean the LCD display surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any
cleaning solution or glass cleaner!

• Adjust the display’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

•Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize
turning your head while you are typing.

•Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the display for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.

• Use the preset Color Setting.

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75 Hz.

• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to insufficient
contrast.

Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear different.
This is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technolo­gies, each dot on the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution must be done.

NOTE: Technical specifications are subject to change without notice.

Reduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but with size and weight

limitations. The display’s small footprint and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.
OSD (On-Screen Display) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to use

on-screen menus.

No-Touch Auto Adjust (Analog input only): No-Touch Auto Adjust automatically adjust the monitor to optimal settings upon
initial setup.

ErgoDesign Features: Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and
save money. Examples include

OSD controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt base for preferred angle of vision, small

footprint and compliance with MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions

.

Plug and Play: The Microsoft

®

solution with the Windows®95/98/Me/2000/XP operating system facilitates setup and installation

by allowing the display to send its capabilities (such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your computer,
automatically optimizing display performance.

IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving methods that allow the display to shift to a lower
power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your display energy costs, reducing emissions and
lowering the air conditioning costs of the workplace.

Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts display to the display card’s scanning frequency, thus displaying the
resolution required.

FullScan Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.
VESA Standard Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect the SGI display to any VESA standard third party mounting arm

or bracket. Allows for the display to be mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.

Features

No picture

• The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.

• The display card should be completely seated in its slot.

• Check the Vacation Switch should be in the ON position.

• Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON position.

• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used.
(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)

• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended settings.

• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.

• Check the signal input, “INPUT 1” or “INPUT 2”.

Power Button does not respond

• Unplug the power cord of the display from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the display.

• Check the Vacation Switch on the left side of the display.

Image persistence

• Image persistence is when a “ghost” image of an image remains on the screen even after the display has been turned off.
Unlike CRT monitors, LCD display’s image persistence is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the monitor
off for as long as an image was displayed. If an image was on the display for one hour and a “ghost” of that image remains,
the display should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

NOTE: As with all personal display devices, it is recommended to use a moving screen saver at regular intervals

whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.

Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or shows rough images only)

• Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal clock
or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.

• OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out of range. Choose one of the
supported modes.

Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent

• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.

• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the fine total. When the display
mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.

• Check the display and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.

• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz refresh rate.

LED on display is not lit

(no green or amber color can be seen)

• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.

Display image is not sized properly

• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the Coarse total.

• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used.
(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)

No Video

• If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power button off and on again.

• Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse).
