KVM-kytkin ATEN CL5708M räkkiasennus musta 1U 17 tuuman LCD CL5708M-UK

The ATEN CL5708M Slideaway is a 1U rack-mountable KVM switch with an integrated 17-inch LED-backlit LCD, keyboard and touchpad. It provides centralized control of multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB console and supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The unit is built with a metal and plastic housing and a modular design that allows the KVM module to be detached for maintenance. Optional rack mount kits are available separately.

Advantages

The CL5708M saves rack space by combining a keyboard, 17" LCD monitor and touchpad in a sliding 1U housing while providing access to up to 8 or 16 computers from one console. It supports daisy-chaining additional switches to manage up to 256 systems from a single console. The modular construction simplifies servicing and replacement, and the unit supports both PS/2 and USB consoles for broad compatibility. An optional fingerprint identification module can be used to restrict access to the switch and connected servers.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centers where rack space is limited
• IT administrators who need centralized access to multiple servers
• Environments requiring quick local management of up to 256 systems via daisy-chaining

When it may not be suitable

This unit is intended for rack-mounted environments and may not be suitable for desktop or standalone use where 1U rack installation is not available. It also requires compatible PS/2 or USB connections on target computers and may not be the best option where only network-based remote management is required.

Use the front-panel controls or on-screen display to switch between connected computers and adjust video settings.
