Buying guide

Choosing a rack console

  1. Pair with a KVM switch

    A rack console connects straight to one server, or to a KVM switch to control many.

  2. Keyboard language

    Consoles come with a fixed keyboard layout, such as US, UK, German or Danish, so order the one your team uses.

  3. Rails

    Check whether the console includes rails and whether they fit your rack's depth and mounting holes; some kits ship without them.

Frequently asked questions

Can a console connect to a server without a KVM switch?

Yes. Plug its VGA and USB or PS/2 cables straight into one server, and add a KVM switch later to control more.

Does a rack console include the KVM switch?

Usually not: the console provides the screen, keyboard and pointing device. Kits that bundle a switch say so in the listing.
