17" LCD console with 8-port KVM

The APC AP5808 combines a 17" Active Matrix TFT LCD with an integrated 8-port analog KVM switch in a single 1U rack-mountable unit. It is designed for data-centre operators who need direct, local access to up to eight servers from one keyboard, touchpad and screen without extra cabling. The console folds away when not in use, leaving the rack space clear for other equipment.

Sustained operation in a 1U rack slot

Because the display, KVM electronics and input devices share a compact 1U enclosure, heat dissipation relies on the rack’s airflow rather than dedicated fans. During long management sessions the LCD remains readable and the analog switch maintains stable video and USB signals across all eight connected computers. The unit weighs 41.85, so the rack rails must support that load continuously without deflection.

Installation and common issues

The package includes rack mounting brackets, a cable management arm, a KVM cable, documentation CD and printed guides. Mounting the brackets to the rack first, then sliding the console into place, avoids misalignment of the rail latches. A frequent oversight is leaving the cable arm unsecured, which strains the KVM connectors when the drawer is extended. Verify each server’s video and USB ports match the supplied cable ends before closing the rack door.
