ATEN CL5708MUKIT LCD KVM Console KIT

Overview

The ATEN CL5708MUKIT is a 1U rackmount LCD KVM console kit designed for efficient, centralized server management. It consolidates a keyboard, 17-inch LCD monitor, and touchpad mouse into a single slideaway housing, reducing rack space and simplifying access to connected servers. This unit is ideal for data centers and server rooms where direct console access to multiple machines is required without cluttering the workspace.

Compatibility

This KVM console kit supports direct connections to 8 computers using PS/2, USB, and VGA interfaces. It can be expanded via daisy-chaining to manage up to 256 computers from a single console. The included 5-in-1 console cables ensure broad compatibility with various server types and models commonly found in enterprise environments. It is designed to work with standard rack infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The CL5708MUKIT features a single-rail, rackmount design requiring 1U of vertical space in a standard 19-inch server rack. The slideaway housing allows the console to be neatly stored when not in use. Ensure adequate clearance for the monitor to swing open and for the rack drawer to extend fully. The kit includes multiple USB KVM cables of varying lengths (4ft, 6ft, 10ft) to accommodate different server-to-console distances.
