1 General Information

1.1 Overview

The freeView XL C11H is an ideal solution for managing one or more servers in a rack. Its ability to
connect directly to a server or to a KVM to increase the number of connections allows it to grow along
with the number of servers in the rack. Its large 17-inch TFT LCD color display and ultra-low-profile
compact industrial keyboard/touchpad create a user-friendly and reliable device. All of these functions
are integrated into a unit which only takes up 1U of a 19-inch rack to conserve precious rack space
and provide for a highly reliable device.
