A typical LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has millions of pixels. A dead
pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color
output. It most often looks like a tiny black or white spot on your screen,
although it can be any other color. Since even a tiny dust particle on one of the
pixels during the manufacturing process or a slight bump during shipping can
create a dead pixel, the ISO 13406-2 norm defines 4 classes of acceptable
screens with dead pixels--Class 1 is the best; Class 4 is the worst. Almost all
manufacturers use Class 2 to establish their warranties, which allows a certain
amount of dead pixels to exist before they will replace the screen. Since the
manufacturers consider these screens to be acceptable under ISO

Introduction
Overview
CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100 is ATEN’s Short Depth WideScreen LCD
Console Series designed to offer convenient on-site operation for KVM
devices or servers in limited space. The short-depth design fits all 19"
equipment cabinets, and is especially suitable for shallow racks. Aside from
saving valuable space on the rack, the CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100 is also an
ideal, space-saving solution for various special-environment applications, such
as outside broadcast vans (OB vans) and compact control rooms.
The CL3800 USB HDMI DVI VGA LCD Console is a dual rail LCD KVM
console featuring an 18.5" LED-backlit widescreen LCD monitor with an
integrated keyboard and touchpad. It supports three types of video input —
HDMI, DVI, and VGA — for providing the ultimate installation flexibility by
allowing users to connect the console and the computer via any of the three
types of video source.
To maximize space utilization, the dual rail design enables CL3800’s LCD
monitor, keyboard, and touchpad to operate independently of each other. The
LCD console’s keyboard and touchpad modules can slide back to be hid away
when not in use, while the thin-profile LCD monitor rotates back, flush against
the rack, to allow convenient monitoring of the computer / server connected.
While the CL3800 supports multiple video interfaces, the CL3700 and CL3100
are dedicated front-end sliding consoles respectively for HDMI and VGA
KVM switches. Both of the CL3700 and CL3100 are of single rail design with
an 18.5” LED-backlit widescreen LCD monitor and an integrated keyboard
and touchpad.
For added convenience, users can also choose to manage the connected
computer /server from an external console. Ports for a second external KVM
console (USB keyboard/mouse) with either an HDMI (CL3800 and CL3700),
DVI (CL3800 only), or VGA (CL3800 and CL3100) monitor, are provided on
the rear panel. The CL3800 and CL3100 include two mini stereo ports for
connecting audio speakers, one in the CPU section, and the other in the external
Console section on the rear panel. The CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100 also
features a port for an external USB mouse on the unit’s front panel for use with
the built-in keyboard. See Rear Panel External Console Ports, page 2 to view
a table of available ports for each model.

for details.
Server rooms already installed with compatible KVM switches will have the
advantage of easy LCD access, an additional KVM console, and a built-in
space-saving sliding module, without having to purchase a new KVM switch.
With an upgradable firmware, you can keep your CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100
up-to-date with the latest updates by downloading them from the ATEN
website. Setup is fast and easy. Simply use the custom cable included with your

Operation
Opening / Closing the Console
The CL3800’s console consists of two modules: an 18.5” LCD display module
located under the top cover; and a keyboard / touch pad module below the LCD
module. The modules can either slide together, or independently. This allows
you to have the LCD display available for viewing while the keyboard / touch
pad module is conveniently out of the way when not in use.
The CL3700 and CL3100 are single rail consoles and so the LCD display
module and keyboard/touch pad module can only slide in/out together.

Symptom Action
There are ghost images on the
external monitor.
The distance between the external console and the
CL3800 is too great. The maximum DVI cable
distance should not exceed 20 m and, in some cases,
may need to be shorter. Replace the DVI cable with
one of an appropriately short length.
Some characters I enter from
the keyboard do not display
correctly.
The keyboard layout setting for the port does not
match the keyboard you are using. On your switch,
change the keyboard layout setting for the port to
match the layout of the keyboard you are using.
I can’t use the special keys on
the Sun external keyboard to
control Sun computers.
Use Sun keyboard emulation keystrokes (page 63) to
achieve all Sun keyboard functions.
