in-rack local IP
consoles
With an in-rack local console, all equipment, servers, switchboxes, keyboards,
keyboard drawers, and video displays are installed together in the same rack.
The HP switchboxes mount behind the keyboard drawer and do not consume
extra U-space in the rack. Using the TFT5600 RKM and an IP console switch will
consume a total of 1U to accommodate up to 128 servers. One console
switchbox can support up to 16 directly attached servers with no user blocking.
Up to eight servers may be tiered or cascaded on each switch port using either
a legacy Compaq KVM switch or an Expansion Module; however, only one user
can access tiered switches or servers connected by Expansion Modules at any
one time. Critical devices requiring frequent access should be attached
directly to a switch port. Server accessibility should be assessed by the IT
manager before deployment to determine the appropriate server density per
console switch.
The number of devices that fully populate a 47U, 42U, or 36U rack with an in-
rack local console is outlined in table 8.
