PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Orion 18 is a thin, lightweight, rugged direct-mount liquid crystal display.
Designed to replace bulky power guzzling 17 to 21 CRTs, at only .75 deep bezel and 14 (8U) in height, the Orion mounts directly onto the rails of a standard 19 RETMA rack.
It has a 18 active display area, featuring up to 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution.
The Orion 18 display plugs-and-plays with workstations and PCs.
With active-matrix LCD technology to provide superior color, the fully sealed lightweight aluminum construction and sharper resolution is perfect for shipboard, airborne, field deploy­ments, industrial or lab applications where high resolution as well as weight and size are a driving factor.
5
Each Orion 18 features safety glass, front control panel, and low power usage that extends the life of the monitor as well as emanation protection that make it less susceptible to electro­magnetic interference.

FAQS -- Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment is covered?
What failures are covered?
Who do I call?
The packing slip that comes with the equipment lists the equipment covered.
Any type of workmanship or equip­ment hardware failures arising from normal use of the equipment is covered. The only exclusions are for problems related to abuse, acts of god, or acts of war. Software prob­lems are not covered.
Telephone or fax the Customer Service Dept. at Z Microsystems:
(858) 657-1000 ext. 232 (858) 657-1001 (fax)

Warranty
How long does it take?
Are there any extra costs?
What about classified data?
Your equipment should be returned to you within 30 days of its receipt at the factory. In many cases it will be less (our goal is to have your equipment on its way back within 5 days). However, if the damaged equipment has to be serviced by the original manufacturer (Seagate, NEC, for example), it may take longer.
The only per incident cost you will incur is Freight In to return the equipment to the factory. Your standard warranty covers all of the costs associated with the repair and the return shipment of the covered equipment.
DO NOT send any data storage equipment that contains classified material. Remove the inner disks of any drive with classified information. Send only the outer casing of the disk drive. There will be a replacement charge for classified drives even if the drive is still under warranty.
