Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The CL5800 is a series of KVM Console modules featuring an integrated 19"
LED-backlit LCD panel, a full keyboard, and a touch pad in a 1U rackmountable sliding housing with an AC based input power source.
The CL5800 KVM Console modules serve as the front end sliding console for
compatible KVM switches. This means users who already have a compatible
KVM switch can take advantage of the space saving and efficiency benefits of
the sliding console module without having to purchase a KVM switch module.
The CL5800’s LCD and keyboard/touch pad modules slide independently of
each other. To maximize space in your data center, the keyboard/touch pad
module slides back to "hide away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD
monitor rotates back – flush against the rack – allowing convenient monitoring
of computer activity.
For added convenience, ports for an external PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse
as well as a monitor are provided on the rear panel.
Setup is fast and easy. Simply use the included custom KVM cable set to link
the LCD Console's KVM port to the console ports of your KVM switch and
you are ready to go.
Since the CL5800's firmware is upgradable, you can stay current with the latest
functionality improvements simply by downloading firmware updates from
ATEN’s web site as they become available.
