Table of Contents
The HPE LCD8500 1U Rackmount Console Kit is an ultra-dense, high-performance KVM console that combines a full 18.5-inch LCD monitor with keyboard and touch pad in a 1U form factor.
The 1U rackmount form factor is designed to allow a KVM console switch to be mounted directly behind it. The WXGA TFT LCD brightview display supports most common video resolutions, from 800 x 600 through 1600 x 1200 at 60 to 75 Hz refresh rates.
Standard Features
The LCD8500 1U Rackmount Console Kit features a new silver enclosure making identification in the rack much easier. The rackmount keyboard includes a three-button touch pad with four (4) scroll keys and Windows shortcut keys. The LCD8500 1U Rackmount Console Kit also includes a new Lid Switch display management feature that shuts off the display backlight when the console is closed and repowers to its current state when opened again, helping to prolong the life of the display panel.

| Notes: This kit might contain extra hardware. This product is supplied with a C5 to C14 power cord. The C14 is a standard connection for PDUs and UPSs. If another power source is used, a region-specific cord must be purchased separately. HPE constantly strives to improve and develop products that are environmentally friendly. In communicating with our customers, we have discovered that 90% use the C5 to C14 jumper cord and discard the C5 to country specific power cords. In effort to reduce landfill, HPE made a Green decision to remove excess waste from our accessory kit. This resulted in removing multiple power cords included in the product. Please see the HPE LCD8500 1U Console User Guidefor additional information including mounting and installation instructions. | |
