The SMK-580X15 keyboard video switch rack console combines a flat panel LCD monitor, keyboard and touchpad mouse in a single functional unit. Its clamshell design uses a flip-up TFT monitor to save valuable rack space. And since in a typical data center, server racks consist of several different computer systems, it is important that they can be administered from a central console. This is where the monitor keyboard switch can prove invaluable, since it enables the keyboard, mouse and monitor to be switched between the various individual computers.
The keyboard video switch supports operating systems such as DOS, Win3.x, Win95/98/2000/ME/XP, WinNT, Netware, SCO Unix, HP Unix, Linux.
Pointing devices compatible with Microsoft Mouse are supported.
Works with COTS keyboard, VGA, mouse cables.
The SMK-580X15 8-port keyboard video switch is a convenient solution for controlling multiple computers. This single unit combines a 8-port KVM switch, keyboard, 15" LCD monitor and touchpad — all in a mere 1U of rack space. The keyboard video switch lets you control up to 120 PCs or servers by daisy-chaining additional 8-port or 16-port KVM switches. The keyboard video switch supports hot plugging of systems and features auto-scanning of connected systems and systems on daisy chained installations. It has an 8-character password security feature that ensures only authorized users can view and control connected PCs or servers. The convenient and easy-to-operate KVM switch controls all ports using hotkeys or the mouse-driven OSD (On-Screen Display) menus.
The keyboard video switch rack console is mounted on slide rails so you can easily pull out the unit from your equipment rack. The keyboard tray slides out for LCD and keyboard access and remain hidden when not in use. A 15 inch XGA LCD monitor with 350:1 contrast ratio, lower power consumption, and EMI free technology makes it ideal for industrial applications. An on-screen display (OSD) menu using four control buttons let's you adjust the display for optimum viewing.
The entire LCD monitor keyboard drawer is constructed of metal for ruggedness. The slide-out keyboard tray is shipped with ball-bearing slide rails already attached to the unit. Rack mounting brackets can be extended from up to 36.75" accomodating a wide range of equipment racks with different depth.
