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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Use a Local Console vs. Remote KVM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e17-Inch LCD Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1280 x 1024 native resolution at 75 Hz refresh, 16.78 million colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1U Slide-Out Form Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal rack-space consumption; slides out for use, retracts for storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePS\/2 and USB Host Interfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to both older PS\/2 servers and current USB-only systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Keyboard and Touchpad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-size keyboard with integrated touchpad — no separate input devices required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with Windows, Linux, Unix, and Sun systems via standard keyboard\/video\/mouse interfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17-inch LCD, 1280 x 1024 native at 75 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.78 million colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1U slide-out rackmount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (WxDxH)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\" x 24.2\" x 1.7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Interfaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePS\/2 and USB host\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeyboard\/Pointer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated full-size keyboard with touchpad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOS Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWindows, Linux, Unix, Sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServer Room Local Console Access:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single shared console for occasional direct server access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBIOS\/UEFI Configuration and OS Install:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tasks that require local console access regardless of remote management capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork Closet Switch Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Console access to networking equipment via USB or serial console interfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLegacy Server Environments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Older servers without integrated remote management still require local console access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestyme: KVM Console Cable Bundling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AP5717 typically pairs with APC KVM cables (AP5821 6ft, AP5822 10ft, AP5823 17ft) and optionally with an APC KVM switch (AP5808 8-port, AP5816 16-port) for multi-server access.
