APC by Schneider Electric AP5717 17" Rack LCD Console

Overview

The APC AP5717 is a 1U rack-mountable LCD console designed for direct KVM access within server racks. It consolidates a 17-inch LCD display, keyboard, and touchpad mouse into a single unit, streamlining management for IT infrastructure. This console is ideal for data centers and network closets where efficient, local access to multiple servers or network devices is required without dedicating rack space to separate monitors, keyboards, and mice. The AP5717 supports both PS/2 and USB interfaces, offering broad compatibility with various server generations.

Compatibility

This console is compatible with APC's KVM switches and directly connects to servers and network devices requiring PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse input. It serves as the primary interface for managing equipment within APC environments, including but not limited to NetShelter racks and compatible KVM switch lines. Its dual interface support ensures it can integrate into existing infrastructure, whether PS/2 or USB-based systems are in use.

Installation Notes

The unit is designed for standard 19-inch racks, occupying 1U of vertical space. Its depth requires consideration for rack depth and cable management, measuring 614 mm from front to back. The operating temperature range is 0 to 40 °C, suitable for most climate-controlled IT environments. Power consumption is typically 30W, drawing from a standard 100-240V AC input via its included adapter.
