򐂰 IBM Space Saver 2 Keyboard that mounts in the Rack Keyboard Tray and is available in
sixteen language configurations (track point mouse is integral to keyboard)
Order the T210 Flat-Panel Monitor (# 3635) if you are looking for a desk-top flat panel display
option. The T210 is a 21-inch TFT LCD digital screen with a viewable image size of 528 mm
(20.8 inches) measured diagonally, incorporating a 0.207 mm pixel pitch/type for bright,
high-definition images.
1.3.5 VGA switch
The VGA switch for the IBM 7316-TF1 Flat Panel Display Console allows users to control
multiple servers from a single console. This dual-user switch allows attachment of one or two
consoles, one of which must be an IBM 7316-TF1. Either console can control any one of the
eight servers, except that both consoles cannot talk to the same server at the same time. An
easy to use graphical interface, supported in six languages (English, French, Spanish,
German, Italian, or Brazilian Portuguese), allows fast switching between systems. Using
multiple switches in a two-level cascade arrangement, as many as 64 systems can be
controlled from a single point.
The VGA switch is only 1 EIA unit (1U) high and can be mounted in the same tray as the
7316-TF1 Rack Console, thus conserving valuable rack space. It supports a maximum video
resolution of 1600 x 1280, which facilitates the use of graphics-intensive applications and
large monitors.
To help minimize cable clutter, multi-connector cables in lengths of 7, 12, and 20 feet are
available. These cables can be used to connect the graphics adapter (required in each
attached system), keyboard port and mouse port of attached servers to the switch or to
connect between switches in a tiered configuration.
1.3.6 Cable management arm
The Model 6C1 is shipped by default with a cable management arm. You can route all cables
through the cable management arm, attaching the cables to the arm with the hook and loop
fastener strips provided. The wraps are provided for additional cable management.
Figure 1-4 on page 8 shows the cable management arm. As the drawer is moved on its rails
into the service position, the arms expand or collapse, actively managing the cables. A cable
retention clip located on the rear of the server provides a reliable anchor for the cable so that
the drawer movement does not accidentally detach them.
Note: The 7316-TF1 and T210 require a GXT135P Graphics Adapter (# 2848) to be
connected to either the tower or rack-mount servers.
