Description
APC 17-Inch Rack LCD Console — AP5717
Full APC Specification: APC 17" Rack LCD Console
The AP5717 is a 1U rack-mounted LCD console — a slide-out display, keyboard, and touchpad combination installed directly in the server rack. For environments where a single direct keyboard/video/mouse access point per rack is sufficient (without the cost of a full KVM switch), the AP5717 provides the local-access tier in 1U of rack space.
When to Use a Local Console vs. Remote KVM
Modern data center management typically relies on iLO, iDRAC, IPMI, or KVM-over-IP for remote server access. But local console access is still required for: BIOS/UEFI configuration, OS installation, troubleshooting network-dropped servers, and any scenario where remote management has failed. The AP5717 provides this local access in a compact 1U slide-out form factor.
Key Features
- 17-Inch LCD Display: 1280 x 1024 native resolution at 75 Hz refresh, 16.78 million colors.
- 1U Slide-Out Form Factor: Minimal rack-space consumption; slides out for use, retracts for storage.
- PS/2 and USB Host Interfaces: Connects to both older PS/2 servers and current USB-only systems.
- Integrated Keyboard and Touchpad: Full-size keyboard with integrated touchpad — no separate input devices required.
- Wide Compatibility: Works with Windows, Linux, Unix, and Sun systems via standard keyboard/video/mouse interfaces.
