CHAPTER 5: Operation: On-Screen Display

5.4.3.D Fade Out

This item determines how long the ServSwitch Ultra continues to display the

computer label after you switch to a different CPU before allowing it to “fade out.”

If you set “Fade out” to anything from 1 to 254, the Serv unit will wait that number

of seconds before fading out the computer label. If you set “Fade out” to 255, the

unit will display the label at all times. If you set “Fade out” to 0, the unit will never

display the computer label at all.

This item also determines how long the Switch displays the computer label after

receiving a Display Label ([CTRL] [D]) keyboard command (see Section 4.3.17).

The Switch will display the label for five seconds if “Fade out” is set to 0, for the

corresponding number of seconds if “Fade out” is set to 1 to 254, or always if “Fade

out” is set to 255.

To change the fadeout setting, press [Enter] while “Fade out (seconds)” is

highlighted. An “Input new value” box appears. Use the shared keyboard’s number

keys to input a new value from 0 to 255 and hit [Enter]. The input box disappears

and the new setting appears in the “Fade out (seconds)” field.

5.4.3.E Font

This item determines in which font the ServSwitch or ServManager displays the

computer label. The choices are: 8x16 modern, 8x16 classic, 16x24 modern, 16x24

classic, 16x32 modern, and 16x32 classic.

8x16 is the size of the text in the configuration menus. 16x24 is twice as tall and

half again as wide. 16x32 is both twice as tall and twice as wide. The “modern” font

is a sans-serif font similar to Helvetica

. The “classic” font is a serifed font similar to

Times

. The actual size of the font on the screen depends on the resolution of the

input video from the CPUs. At higher resolutions the fonts are proportionally

smaller, so use larger sizes to keep the labels legible.

To change the font, press [Enter] while font is highlighted. A font-input box

appears. Use the arrow keys to select the desired font and hit [Enter]. The input

box disappears and the new setting appears in the “Font” field.
