Eight-port HDMI KVM switch
The ATEN CS1798 is an eight-port HDMI KVM switch that lets a single operator control up to eight computers from one console. It supports WUXGA video at 1920 x 1200 resolution and includes USB peripheral sharing across all connected systems. The unit is rack-mountable and compatible with Linux, Mac, PC and Sun platforms.
Replaces multiple individual KVM units
This switch consolidates eight separate computer connections into one 1U rack appliance, removing the need for multiple desktop switches and cable runs. The upgrade is worthwhile when a server room or lab requires centralised access to several HDMI-equipped machines without adding extra monitors or keyboards. Auto-scan cycles through ports at a one-second interval for quick monitoring.
Fits a standard rack and frees desk space
The 1U form factor mounts in a standard rack using the included hardware, while two custom USB HDMI cable sets, a firmware upgrade cable, power adapter and foot pads are supplied. Twelve USB ports provide peripheral connectivity for the local console and attached systems. A single RJ-45 network port allows remote management integration. Buyers needing more than eight computer ports or higher video resolutions should consider other solutions.

Questions about this item
Will the 25.7-inch wide rack-mountable chassis fit a standard 19-inch rack?
The unit is 25.7 inches wide and rack-mountable; the included rack mounting kit provides the brackets needed to secure it in a standard 19-inch rack.
How are the 2 custom USB HDMI KVM cable sets connected during initial setup?
Plug each cable's HDMI and USB ends into the corresponding ports on the switch and the target computer; a common mistake is reversing the HDMI and USB connectors on the computer side.
When should the firmware upgrade cable included in the package be used?
Use the firmware upgrade cable to apply updates released by ATEN for the CS1798; connect it to the switch's upgrade port and a host computer running the update utility.
