Single-port rackmount KVM console

The STARTECH RKCONS1701 integrates a 17-inch Active Matrix TFT LCD, keyboard and touchpad into a 1U rackmount chassis. It provides direct VGA access to a single PC or server at up to 1280 x 1024 resolution. The unit ships with mounting rails, cage nuts, screws and five regional power cords for immediate deployment.

Suited for single-server management

This console targets administrators who need local, at-the-rack control of one system without a separate monitor, keyboard or mouse. It is not intended for operators who must switch between multiple servers, nor for environments that require digital video inputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort.

Fits standard 1U rack space

The 1U form factor occupies minimal vertical room while the included rails and hardware secure the unit in a standard rack. An internal 100 to 240 V AC supply drawing 13 W eliminates the need for an external power brick. A single VGA cable links the console directly to the target system, freeing desk space and reducing cable clutter.

Questions about this item

Do I need a VGA cable to connect my server to the RKCONS1701?

A 15-pin VGA KVM cable is included in the box, so no separate cable is required for the initial connection.

Can I keep using my existing PS/2 keyboard and mouse with this console?

The unit has a built-in keyboard and touchpad; external PS/2 peripherals are not supported on this model.

How can I confirm the RKCONS1701 is operating correctly after racking it?

The front power/status LED lights when the console receives 100-240 V AC and the 17-inch LCD displays a 1280 x 1024 signal from the connected server.
