Designed to work together to save room in space-constrained rack-mount environments, the
Compaq 1U Keyboard Drawer and Internal Keyboard with Trackball give corporate IT managers
extraordinary convenience, reliable performance, and improved manageability.
The 1U Keyboard Drawer requires half the depth of other keyboard drawers and provides
mounting options for Compaq server console switches. The Compaq Internal Keyboard and
Trackball is designed to fit neatly inside the keyboard drawer and provides hardware support for
the Euro currency symbol used in European Community (EC) markets.
Console Switches
Figure 17: Server Console Switch
Compaq server console switches allow multiple servers in a rack to be accessed and managed by
one keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Five models are available, including a 2-port, a 4-port, and
three 8-port switches. Two 8-port switches provide dual user functionality, for system control by
more than one user. The console switches can be cascaded to allow up to 64 servers to share one
console.
