17-Inch Rack LCD Console
The APC AP5717 integrates a 17-inch display, keyboard and touchpad into a single 1U rack-mountable drawer. It provides direct PS/2 and VGA console access to one connected server or KVM switch. The unit is designed for data-centre administrators who need local hardware control without a separate monitor or crash cart.
Suited for Single-Server Management
This console suits operators managing a single rack-mounted server or a KVM switch with PS/2 and VGA ports. It is not intended for environments that require multi-port switching, digital video inputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort, or USB-only server connections. Buyers needing simultaneous access to multiple systems should consider a multi-port KVM solution.
Straightforward Rack Installation
The package includes a single-user rack-mount kit, PS/2 and USB KVM cables, plus both C13-C14 and NEMA 5-15 power cords for immediate setup. A power-tilt sensor automatically powers down the display when the drawer is closed, reducing energy use. Ensure the rack depth accommodates the 24.17-inch maximum size and verify PS/2 and VGA compatibility on the target server before mounting.

Questions about this item
Do I need a server with a VGA port and PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors to use the 17" LCD console?

Can I mount this 1U console above a legacy 1U KVM switch in the same rack space?
The unit allows rear mounting of a 1U device so you can keep an existing KVM switch directly behind it in the same rack area.
