Kit de consola para rack HPE LCD8500

The Rackmount Console Kit HPE LCD8500 is a 1U rackmount KVM console combining an 18.5-inch WXGA TFT LCD brightview display and an integrated keyboard with touch pad. Designed for server-rack environments, the console supports common video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 60–75 Hz, includes two front USB pass-through ports for virtual media, and features a silver enclosure with tool-less rails for quick installation. The kit also incorporates a lid switch that turns off the display backlight when closed and restores power when opened, helping to extend panel life.

Advantages

The HPE LCD8500 offers a compact 1U form factor that saves rack space while providing a full keyboard and an 18.5" display. Its active-matrix TFT ensures a stable, flicker-free image, and the included USB pass-through ports support KVM switches with virtual media. The silver enclosure improves rack identification and the lid switch reduces backlight usage. Tool-less rails and standard keyboard features (three-button touch pad, four scroll keys, Windows shortcuts) simplify setup and day-to-day operation.

Suitable for

• Server room and data center rack management
• Environments requiring dense rack consolidation with integrated console access
