Server Compatibility

The CX-1716 rackmount LCD KVM console is compatible with most enterprise rack servers and network appliances that support VGA video output and USB keyboard/mouse connections.

Common compatible systems include:

• Dell PowerEdge rack servers
• HPE ProLiant rack servers
• Lenovo ThinkSystem rack servers
• Supermicro rackmount servers
• Custom-built rack servers
• Storage appliances and network infrastructure devices with VGA console ports

This makes the CX-1716 suitable for datacenters, enterprise IT cabinets, and server rooms where multiple rack systems need to be managed from a single console.

How Servers Connect

Each server connects to the KVM console using a single KVM cable which carries:

• Video (VGA)
• Keyboard signal
• Mouse signal

Example connection:

Server → KVM Cable → CX-1716 KVM Console

This allows administrators to manage multiple servers from a single rack console without needing individual monitors, keyboards, or mice for each system.

Typical Deployment

Typical rack installation:

1 × CX-1716 LCD KVM Console
Up to 16 rack servers connected directly

This allows administrators to quickly switch between servers using:

• Front panel buttons
• Keyboard hotkeys
• On-screen display (OSD)

The slideaway console can be pulled out when needed and stored inside the rack when not in use.
