Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
Each ServView™V KVM Tray Kit includes a KVM Tray (KVT517A or KVT517A-WIDE), a KVM module (KVT4S1UV, KVT4S8PV,
KVT4S8UV, KVT4S16PV, KVT4S16UV, or KVT8DVIU), and a universal rear bracket extension kit. This manual describes how to use
the ServView V KVM Tray and the rear bracket extension kit, and a separate manual (included with your kit) explains how to use
the KVM module.
Control your 4-post-rack- or cabinet-mounted USB or PS/2®server with the compact, easy-to-use ServView V KVM Tray. It con-
sists of a keyboard, mouse, LCD panel, and KVM module housed in an industry-standard 19" 1U-height rack drawer (see Figure
2-1). The unique dual-rail design allows the keyboard and LCD display to slide in and out independently of each other, so you can
stow the keyboard out of the way when you’re not using it.
The ServView has a 17" standard or widescreen LCD panel. It features a full 105-key, low-profile, sturdy keyboard and touch pad
with an ergonomically designed hand rest. The KVT517A has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024. The KVT517A-WIDE has a
maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080P.
Install the ServView in 4-post racks or cabinets that have rail space of 23.7"D to 45.3"D (60.2 to 115.1 cm).
NOTE: This is the depth measured between the front pole and rear pole inside a 4-post rack or cabinet, not the outside depth of
the enclosure.
When installing the ServView, you’ll need to use the universal Rear Bracket Extension Kit that’s included in your ServView Kit.
A KVM module is also included with the ServView. To control more than one USB or PS/2 server, connect the ServView to a
ServSwitch™.
The KVM module comes with a universal Centronics®36-pin connector; use it to connect the module to the console drawer. The
module has a barrel connector for power. The small screws (0.12" x 0.24" [0.5 x 1.1 cm]) listed in Section 2.2 secure the brackets
to the KVM module. The large screws (0.19" x 0.43" [0.3 x 0.6 cm]) are used in place of 10-32 or 12-24 screws (described in
Chapter 3, not included) if required by your rack.
