Black Box KVT517A-R2 17" LCD Console Dual Rail
Overview
The Black Box KVT517A-R2 is a 17-inch LCD console designed for rack-mount server environments. Its dual-rail sliding mechanism allows the keyboard and monitor to extend independently or together, optimizing space utilization in dense data center or network closet deployments. This unit is GSA and TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and enterprise applications requiring adherence to specific procurement standards.
Compatibility
This console is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. It functions as a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) interface, requiring compatible KVM switches or direct connections to servers. The 17-inch display supports resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 60Hz, suitable for most server management tasks. It is compatible with standard VGA video inputs.
Installation Notes
The dual-rail system requires sufficient depth within the server rack for both the extended and retracted positions. Ensure the rack is rated to support the weight of the unit. Standard VGA, USB (for keyboard/mouse), and power connections are required. The unit is designed for tool-less mounting in racks with square or round mounting holes.
