Keyboard Monitor Switch with 17" LCD Monitor
SMK-580S17 Rack Console, 8-Port Keyboard Monitor Mouse Switch
- Features and Benefits
- Rack-optimized design
The SMK KVM console switch series is rack-optimized.
Using a notebook style clamshell design, each unit takes up only one rack-unit
of space, even with LCD screens up to 17" in size. The unit is mounted
on ball-bearing slide rails so you can easily pull it out of your
equipment rack to access the keyboard and monitor. The LCD flips up for use and folds down
for storage.
The pull-out keyboard drawer lets you extend the LCD and keyboard 16.8 inches from the rack for unobstructed access of both the display and keyboard.- Simple to use KVM switch
The SMK KVM series includes an 8- or 16-port keyboard video mouse switch providing a convenient
solution for controlling multiple computers. The KVM console switch lets you control up to
128 PCs or servers by daisy-chaining additional KVM units. The switch supports hot plugging
of systems so you don't have to power down the KVM to add or remove PCs. and features auto-scanning
of connected systems and systems on daisy chained installations.
Using the KVM can't be simpler, using a combination of on-screen menu and keyboard-mounted pushbuttons, the KVM scans for connected PCs and the operator uses the pushbuttons to select the desired PC either by number or by name.- Assign unique Names to connected computers
- In a networked environment, you may find it easier to identify the computer in a network by name, rather than by port number. You can assign the same names as those assigned by the network for each computer.
- Adjustable rack mounting brackets
The rear bracket
is an adjustable piece that can be used to accomodate equipment racks and cabinets of different
depth up to almost 38 inches.
