Integrated Rack Console

The StarTech.com RKCONS1708K is a 1U rackmount KVM console with a built-in 17-inch LCD, keyboard and touchpad. It provides local control for up to eight servers through a single VGA and USB or PS/2 connection per system. The unit ships with eight KVM cables, mounting rails and international power cords for immediate deployment.

Server Rooms Needing Local Access

This console suits administrators who want direct, at-the-rack management of eight VGA-connected servers without a separate monitor, keyboard or mouse. It does not serve buyers who require IP-based remote access, digital video inputs such as DVI or HDMI, or control of more than eight systems from one console.

1280 x 1024 VGA Resolution Limit

The integrated 17-inch TFT LCD panel supports a maximum analog resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz with a 5:4 aspect ratio. Servers that output only higher resolutions or exclusively digital signals will not display correctly on this console.

Questions about this item

How does the 1280 x 1024 resolution look on the 17-inch panel in a rack?

The 17-inch active-matrix TFT LCD has a 5:4 aspect ratio, 250 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast, 16.7M colours and a 5 ms response time, so text and console windows stay sharp at the native 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz resolution.

What does the VGA-only console port limit in practice?

The single VGA console output and eight VGA computer inputs mean every connected server must supply an analogue VGA signal; digital sources such as HDMI or DisplayPort require an active converter before they can be switched.

How deep is the unit and what mounting hardware is supplied?

The console measures 1.70 in high, 17.60 in wide and 20.70 in deep, and the box includes two mounting rails, eight M5 cage nuts and eight M5 screws for standard rack installation.
