Cable Management System … Done at your Desk!
Typically, every laptop computer comes with 12 feet of cable, plus the adapter 12 x 30 = 360 feet of cable that has to go somewhere
How Does a Laptop Computer Manage Heat?
To manage the heat stress of the battery, computer engineers include
sophisticated battery management functions in the design of the computers.
They can be found in two places: the external charger & internal to the

ELECTRICAL: Avoid sparks. Avoid arcing Always turn OFF the power to the cart before plugging IN or OUT!
ELECTRICAL: For Safety Purposes, make sure all electrical components do not exceed the the maximum load rating of 12 amps.
ELECTRICAL: Risk of electrical shock. Do not plug the power cord into another extension cord or relocatable power tap.
ELECTRICAL: The power strips inside the laptop cart are only for charging laptop computers. Any other use may cause an
overload for the Power Management System, causing the Power Manager to shutdown. To reset the “Power Manager”, turn off the
main power switch, unplug the non-laptop device, then turn the main switch back on.

CAUTION: Be sure each laptop computer is turned OFF before plugging into the cart..
CAUTION: Do Not block the ventilation holes on the cart. Proper air flow is required for safe operation of equipment.
CAUTION: Cart with computers should be kept in a room with a maximum temperature not to exceed 77° F or 25° C.
CAUTION: Maximum weight of accessories on top of cabinet is 25 pounds.
CAUTION: Avoid loading equipment in the cart in a uneven fashion. Uneven weight distribution could cause a hazardous condition.

You know from personal experience the value of keeping your closet neat and organized. You know exactly where everything is when you open the door. So Bretford developed a closet for all the
cords and cables associated with the laptop computers.
cords and cables associated with the laptop computers.
• Your MDM Laptop Cart has its own Cable Clutter Closet – a lockable compartment at the back of the cart especially designed to keep all the cables away from the computers and from students
retrieving the computers from the front of the cart.
• The “Desktop” Cord Management system allows the IT Coordinator to organize the computer cord sets while seated at a table. No more bending or kneeling behind the cart!!
• The interior Divider Panel separates the cart so that 75% of the cart is dedicated to the computers in the front and 25% is dedicated to cables and power adapters in the back. Holes in the Divider
• The interior Divider Panel separates the cart so that 75% of the cart is dedicated to the computers in the front and 25% is dedicated to cables and power adapters in the back. Holes in the Divider
Panel allow the computer connector cables to pass thru and be easily connected to the computers for charging.
• By separating the computer from its power adapter, you minimize the amount of heat beside the computer battery, allowing it to charge at a lower temperature. Cooler temperatures allow the battery
to charge faster.
• The Divider Panel also protects your technology investment; even if access is gained through the back panel the computers in the front compartment are secure.
• Comes with Laser Cut ID Numbers for quickly matching computers with their cord sets.
