The cables above are also used to tier the console switches. The 25-pin end of the cable is connected to
one of the ports in the console switch and the three connectors on the other end goes into the daisy-
chained switch’s video, mouse and keyboard receptacles. So, when you’re planning your multiple server
system, be sure to note that one port in the 4- or 8-Port Console Switch is used for daisy-chaining.
The HP 2-User Expansion Kit is easily connected to the Console Switch using a standard Category 5
Unshielded Twisted Pair cable with a RJ-45 style modular plug on the switch end and an EIA (TIA) 568 B
plug, commonly used for 10BaseT Ethernet, on the expansion kit end. The second system console then
connects to the Expansion Box and can actually be placed up to 500 ft away from the Console Switch.
HP Rackmount Flat Panel Monitor and Keyboard
When planning a multiple server system—as with any system that features a computer—one important
decision you have to make is where to place the system console. It is typically a large device compared to
the rest of the equipment and requires excessive amount of vertical space if placed in the
system rack.
To solve the planner’s dilemma, HP offers a space-saving solution: A high quality
15-inch flat panel display and a full keyboard with a trackball and wrist support
that fits into only 2U of vertical space.
The display is a TFT active matrix and guarantees a flicker-free picture at
refresh rates as low as 60 Hz.
