The KL1508Ai and KL1516Ai Dual Rail LCD KVM Switches are control units that allow secure access up to 8/16
computers from a single KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. They consist of an integrated LCD monitor,
keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding housing.
The LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each other. To maximize space in your data
center, the keyboard/touchpad module slides back to "hide away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD
monitor rotates back – flush against the rack – allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity.
The KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai features IP-based connectivity that allows local and remote operators to monitor and
access the computers on your installation. Because it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the KL1508Ai /
KL1516Ai can be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN, or Internet – whether that computer is located
down the hall, down the street, or halfway around the world.
Compact, high-density, RJ-45 connectors and Cat 5e/6 cable make for a compact, efficient, wiring configuration,
while the use of KVM Adapter Cables to link to the computers, permits any combination of PCs, Macs, Sun
computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation.
For added convenience, ports for an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse are provided on the rear panel –
permitting you to manage the switch from a local console. There is also an external USB mouse port on the
keyboard module, allowing you to use an external mouse, rather than the touchpad.
Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode™ that displays the video output of up to 16 computers at the
same time, and a Message Board that allows logged in users to conveniently and instantly communicate with
one other – no matter where in the world they actually are. The KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai is an ideal solution for your
server room management.

Benefits
Space Efficient
The KL1508Ai/KL1516Ai provides a streamlined method to conserve server room
rack space by integrating a retractable LCD monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in a
1U Dual Rail housing that is designed to install easily and operate smoothly.
Convenient Monitoring
The Dual Rail system separates the LCD module from keyboard/touchpad module
so they can move independently of each other. This allows the keyboard/touchpad
to be pushed back into the housing and out of the way when not in use, while
the LCD screen can be rotated up to the rack for convenient monitoring of server
operation–theLCDmodule'srangeofrotationisadjustabletoprovidethebest
