T

rying to manage your server

farm or data-center PCs with a
dedicated “user station” (monitor,
keyboard, and mouse) for each
computer CPU is not only
expensive, it’s a huge waste of
your valuable real estate. For
each user station you put in a
rack, the monitor can eat up 10U
(17.5", 44.5 cm) or more of vertical
rack space. Who can afford that?

Our ServSwitch™ ServView
cuts this problem down to size—
namely, only 1U (1.75", 4.5 cm). It’s
a monitor/keyboard/mouse
drawer that mounts in that much
space in a 19" equipment rack.
Once you attach it to a CPU or a
KVM switch, you can pull out the
drawer, open the ServView, and
administer the CPU or switch
locally. Then, when you’re done,
just close the ServView and push
the drawer back in.

The ServView has a 14.1"
(35.8-cm) TFT (thin-film transistor)
LCD screen, like those on many
notebook computers. This screen
can support resolutions up to its

Administer rackmounted servers using

less money and a lot less rack space.

Key Features

ServSwitch

TM

ServView

preferred resolution of 1024 x 768.
It can also support refresh rates
between 60 and 75 Hz.

The ServView also has a
notebook-style full 83-key US/UK
English keyboard with a low­profile design, plus a glidepoint
touchpad that can perform all the
functions of a two-button mouse.
(The ServView can’t perform the
center-button functions of a
three-button mouse or the wheel
functions of a wheel mouse.)

But the ServView isn’t a
notebook computer. It has no
processing power of its own and
uses no software, although it’s
compatible with all standard
operating systems for the IBM PC.
Instead, it takes the place of a
monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Besides its power inlet, the
ServView has a single proprietary
composite HD15 female
connector like a PC’s video port.
This is not just a video connector;
it carries video, keyboard, and
mouse signals at the same time.
You’ll use the included cable,

which has an HD15 male plug on
one end and one HD15 male and
two 6-pin mini-DIN male plugs on
the other end, to attach the
ServView to a CPU or KVM
switch.

The ServView comes with all
of the hardware you’ll need to
mount it in your rack. This
includes the telescoping rail
assembly that makes the drawer
work, a cable-carrier arm that
lessens cable strain and reduces
clutter, and twenty screws.

You can set a few things about
the ServView’s TFT display—
including its brightness, contrast,
built-in clock, and whether or not
it auto-adjusts to different
resolutions—with a small set of
on-screen menus controlled
through four buttons mounted
beside the screen.

The ServView can be used
just about anywhere in the
world—it has an autosensing
100-to-250-VAC internal power
supply.
