Compaq 1×4-Port KVM Switch
This Compaq KVM switch lets one operator manage four computers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. It is built for server rooms or labs where rack space is at a premium and multiple systems must be accessed without extra peripherals.
Check PS/2 and VGA compatibility
Each of the four target machines must provide a PS/2 keyboard port, a PS/2 mouse port and a VGA video output. The console side also uses PS/2 and VGA, so USB-only or digital-video-only hosts will need adapters not included with the switch.
Rack-mountable 1U metal chassis
The unit occupies a single 1.7-inch rack height and measures 17 inches wide by 8 inches deep, weighing approximately 5.25 lb. Front-panel push buttons select the active system, while rear-facing ports keep cables organised within the rack.

Questions about this item
Does the Compaq 400336-001 include the VGA and PS/2 cables needed to connect four servers?
The switch provides one VGA and ten PS/2 ports for a single console and four servers; cables for those connections are not included and must be purchased separately.
Should I choose a different model if I need USB keyboard and mouse support instead of PS/2?
This unit uses PS/2 interfaces only — ten ports in total — so a USB-only environment would require a different KVM or PS/2-to-USB adapters.
What video resolution can I expect on the monitor when the switch is installed in a 17-inch rack?
The switch passes VGA, SVGA and XGA signals, so the attached monitor will display whatever resolution the connected server outputs within those standards.
