Product Overview about the HPE 17353LX
In modern computer systems, there are often many computers connected together in a network. Managing these computers can be difficult, especially if there are multiple people working on them at the same time. This is where a KVM switch comes in. A KVM switch allows multiple computers to be controlled by a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. In this article, we will explain in detail the 17353LX IBM 1 Console RJ-45 8 Ports CAT-5 1U Rack Mountable KVM Switch.
KVM Switch
A KVM switch, also known as a keyboard, video, and mouse switch, is a device that allows a user to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse. This is useful in situations where multiple computers need to be managed at the same time. For example, in a data center or server room, a KVM switch can be used to control multiple servers from a single console.
Features of the 17353LX IBM KVM Switch
The 17353LX IBM KVM Switch is a high-performance device that allows a single user to control up to eight computers. It is a 1U rack-mountable device, which means it can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The device is designed to be easy to use and comes with a variety of features that make it ideal for use in a data center or server room.
Console Connection
The 17353LX IBM KVM Switch features a single console connection, which is a RJ-45 connector. This connection is used to connect the keyboard, mouse, and video monitor to the KVM switch. The console connection supports VGA video resolution up to 1920×1440 pixels.
Computer Connection
The 17353LX IBM KVM Switch features eight computer connections, which are also RJ-45 connectors. These connections are used to connect the KVM switch to the computers that need to be controlled. The KVM switch supports both PS/2 and USB keyboard and mouse connections, so it can be used with a wide range of computers.
CAT-5 Cabling
The 17353LX IBM KVM Switch uses CAT-5 cabling to connect the KVM switch to the computers. This type of cabling is commonly used in networking applications and is designed to be easy to install and use. The use of CAT-5 cabling also allows the KVM switch to be located further away from the computers, which can be useful in large data center environments.
Hotkey Switching
The 17353LX IBM KVM Switch supports hotkey switching, which allows the user to switch between the connected computers using a simple keyboard shortcut. This is useful when working with multiple computers at the same time, as it allows the user to quickly switch between them without having to use the mouse.
Auto-Scan
The 17353LX IBM KVM Switch also supports auto-scan, which allows the user to automatically cycle through the connected computers at a set interval. This is useful when monitoring multiple computers, as it allows the user to quickly see what is happening on each computer without having to manually switch between them.
LED Indicators
The 17353LX IBM KVM Switch features LED indicators that provide information about the status of the device. The indicators show which computer is currently active, as well as whether the device is powered on and whether there are any errors or issues with the device.
