Rack-Mount LCD Maintenance Console

Space-Optimized Local Administration for High-Density Racks

Server room floor space and rack capacity are premium commodities. Managing massive server arrays or a cluster of backend Video Management Servers (VMS) individually is highly inefficient. The ATEN CL5716M streamlines system administration by condensing a complete local control station into just 1U of rack space.

Featuring a single-rail sliding housing, the console pulls out smoothly and flips open to reveal a crisp 17-inch display, a full 105-key keyboard, and an ergonomic touchpad. Built entirely on a modular architecture, the integrated 16-port KVM switch allows hardware engineers to toggle instantly between 16 directly connected servers. For server rooms scaling over time, its dedicated daisy-chain port lets you link additional KVM units to govern hundreds of distinct operating systems from this single, local diagnostic checkpoint.

Key Performance Features

• All-in-One 1U Slideaway™ Footprint: Seamlessly integrates a 17" LCD monitor, full mechanical keyboard, and precision touchpad into a sliding drawer that tucks securely away when not in use.

• Integrated 16-Port KVM Switch: Provides direct hardware-level control over 16 connected computers or servers with zero software installation required on the target systems.

• Massive Daisy-Chain Scalability: Supports cascading with up to 31 additional compatible ATEN KVM switches (such as the CS1708A or CS1716A), allowing a single console to manage up to 512 servers from one interface.

• Universal Dual-Interface Detection: Automatically senses and supports both legacy PS/2 and modern USB server connections via specialized custom SPHD KVM cable kits.

• Front-Panel USB Peripheral Sharing: Features a built-in USB hub port on the front LCD module, enabling administrators to hook up flash drives or external media players to run software installations or OS patches one-at-a-time on target servers.

• Robust Two-Level Access Security: Hardened with a localized firmware-level access security protocol, supporting 1 Administrator and up to 4 distinct User profiles with separate password-protected account parameters.

• Exclusive LED Keyboard Illumination: Outfitted with custom LED illumination lights engineered by ATEN to clearly light up the keyboard and touchpad, ensuring effortless troubleshooting in dark, poorly lit server rack aisles.

Ideal Infrastructure Applications

• Central Enterprise Data Centers: Providing a local, crash-cart-free diagnostic station for dense racks housing active directory servers, firewalls, and core switches.

• CCTV & VMS Recording Hubs: Allowing engineers to toggle instantly between clustered NVR servers (such as Geutebrück G-ST units) right at the equipment rack during storage array maintenance.

• Industrial Network Enclosures: On-site system configuration and diagnostic logging across automated manufacturing plants or logistics server bays.
