2 RM moveit Instruction Manual The RM moveit (Bretford LAP16-17H) is specifically designed for the storage and recharging of laptops The RM moveit (Bretford LAP16-17H) can be supplied in 3 different versions: Basic (notebus), Electronic Power Management (notebus +) or Intelligent Charging (notebus -IC). The unique design then allows the trolley to be easily upgraded, promoting a truly future proof solution. This is achieved via the removable/replaceable power module which can be simply swapped out by the user, so as your schools requirements change the power module can be easily upgraded. All electronic components are housed in this easily removable module, meaning that in the unlikely event that something goes wrong the user can quickly and easily replace the power module, reducing down time. The power module is located at the rear of the unit and features a locking door to ensure only authorised access. To assemble/configure your new storage & recharging cabinet simply follow the steps for the relevant model you have purchased. notebus (LAP16-17H B) - see page 2 notebus + (LAP16-17H EPM) - see page 4 notebus-ic (LAP16-17H IC) - see page 6 Optional Upgrades Data Transfer: Only the notebus+ (LAP16-17H EPM) and the notebus-ic (LAP16-17H IC) can facilitate data transfer activities, featuring 19 rack mounting brackets; a built-in network lead; external ethernet socket; and power provisions for a network switch as standard. (Network switch not included) A Network Loom Kit is available as an optional upgrade with these models, which includes 2 x 8 network lead looms, all bound & pre-cut to the required lengths. (Network switch not included) The Network Loom Kit can be added, either at the time of initial purchase or by the user at a later date. If you ordered the Network Loom Kit at the same time as the cabinet, then the 2 network lead looms will be pre-fitted in the cabinet. Simply mount a network switch to the 19 rack mount and connect all the leads in to commence data transfer activities. (Network switch not included) - See page 8 for full details. FANS: Fans are required if you intend to use the unit s data transfer capabilities. To provide the increased ventilation and cooling needed. Fans can be added to all 3 models, either at time of initial purchase or by the user at a later date. If you ordered the optional fans at the same time as the cabinet, then the fans will have been pre-fitted at the factory. 1

3 RM moveit - Notebus The RM moveit - Notebus (Bretford LAP16-17H-B) unit features 16 switchable power sockets located in the rear of the unit and power pack shelves accessed through the side doors. The basic unit uses the laptop s own mains lead and power pack for charging. Ventilation: All vents MUST be kept clear at all times, no posters etc. covering the perforations. Also ensure there is a minimum of 50mm clearance between the back and sides of the cabinet to ensure good air flow. Fans: If fans are fitted: Whilst charging, if the temperature in the cabinet exceeds 30 the fans will automatically initiate. The fan guards MUST be kept clear at all times, including allowing a minimum of 75mm clearance between the back of the cabinet and the wall to ensure good air flow. The fans will continue to run until the temperature drops below 30. However, if the room has a high ambient temperature this may cause the fans to remain on. To assemble/configure your new charging trolley, simply follow the steps below... DO NOT CONNECT TO THE MAINS SUPPLY UNTIL STEPS 1-10 ARE COMPLETE Step 1: Step 1: In a clear floor area lay the cabinet on its back and make sure that the area is off limits to all people other than those engaged in fixing the castor plates. BRETFORD ADVISE THIS IS A MINUMUM TWO PERSON OPERATION The four hole castor plates need to be bolted to the underside of the cabinet using the bolts, spring washers and flat washers provided. A single flat washer is to be located between the castor plate and the cabinet base at the 4 threaded fixing points provided. Each of the fixing bolts (4 are required to securely mount a single castor plate) complete with a spring washer should then be passed through the location holes in the castor plate, the flat washer as previously described and finally locate into the fixing points. We recommend that the two locking castors are fitted to the front of the cabinet. Once located by hand all bolts should then be securely tightened using an appropriately sized spanner or socket. Once all 4 castors are fitted carefully return the cabinet to an upright position. It is important that all castor plates are fitted as described above and checked before using the cabinet.
