Server Rooms Needing Local Access

This console suits administrators who want direct, at-the-rack management of eight VGA-connected servers without a separate monitor, keyboard or mouse.

Questions about this item

How does the 1280 x 1024 resolution look on the 17-inch panel in a rack?

The 17-inch active-matrix TFT LCD has a 5:4 aspect ratio, 250 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast, 16.7M colours and a 5 ms response time, so text and console windows stay sharp at the native 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz resolution.

What does the VGA-only console port limit in practice?

The single VGA console output and eight VGA computer inputs mean every connected server must supply an analogue VGA signal; digital sources such as HDMI or DisplayPort require an active converter before they can be switched.

How deep is the unit and what mounting hardware is supplied?

The console measures 1.70 in high, 17.60 in wide and 20.70 in deep, and the box includes two mounting rails, eight M5 cage nuts and eight M5 screws for standard rack installation.
