The ATEN CL1000M-ATA-GG is a 1U rack-mount console featuring a 17" (43.2 cm) LED-backlit LCD panel, an integrated German QWERTZ keyboard and a built-in PS/2 touchpad-style mouse. Designed to serve as the front-end console for existing KVM switches or direct server access, the unit fits into a standard 19" rack and slides away when not in use, conserving space in server cabinets and data centres. It accepts VGA video input and is compatible with standard operating systems including FreeBSD for typical server management tasks. Typical power consumption is 16 W with an input current of 1 A.

Advantages

VGA video input and broad OS compatibility provide straightforward connectivity to a wide range of legacy and current servers.
