Tripp Lite’s B020-008-17 KVM Switch offers a rack-mountable keyboard, LCD, and touchpad in a single console that occupies only 1U of rack space. Easy to install and use, it is the optimal solution for controlling up to eight computers/servers. The B020-008-17 has a built-in 17” LCD screen that supports video resolutions up to 1280 x 1024. It easily switches between the eight ports using on-console push buttons, an on-screen display (OSD), or keyboard hot key commands. Multi-level password security can be set up for an administrator and up to four local users to ensure only those with authorization can access the connected computers. This switch controls PS/2 or USB computers/servers using a P774-Series (PS/2) or P776-Series (USB) KVM Cable Kit(one of each is included). An extra HD15 port allows an additional VGA monitor to be connected. Two PS/2 ports also are included on the rear of the unit to allow for connection of a Tripp Lite B051-000 IP remote access unit or an external console. When not in use, the B020-008-17 stores neatly in a rack drawer and pulls out when needed. This KVM console is compatible with all major operating systems (special keys on Mac and Sun keyboards are not supported). Heavy-duty steel housing stands up to frequent use.
