Positioning
Mounting servers and their extension components in 19”
racks ensures reliable operation and simplified maintenance.
For administration and operation, a monitor and a keyboard
are required, often connected via a console switch to the
various servers in one rack.
A standard 15” monitor usually takes up eight height units of
valuable space, and the keyboard at least an additional height
unit. These units could be put to better use to accommodate
more servers or storage subsystems, or a UPS. With the
RC22 rack console, Fujitsu Siemens provides a means of
doing this and at the same time helps create an ergonomically
optimized workplace.
The 19” rack console is implemented as a slide-in tray and
occupies only a single height unit in a rack. It contains a 15”
TFT display, a complete keyboard and an additional touch-
pad.
Concept
The 19” rack console combines the monitor and keyboard into
a single functional unit. The TFT display has an adjustable
tilting angle and is mounted behind the keyboard with its inte-
grated touchpad. When not in use, the monitor can be folded
out of the way into the tray. The monitor is then switched off
automatically to save energy and to extend the monitor’s life.
When pulled out, the tray locks into place. The lock can be
released to push it in again.
Ergonomics
Thanks to its flicker-free operation and high resolution, the
TFT display is a very ergonomic device. Additionally, the
complete display unit can be mounted at the ideal working
height. The operator is seated in the same position as if work-
ing at a desk. The tilt of the display can also be set to the best
position.
Additional, optional functions
Many installations consist of several single servers (clusters,
dedicated servers) and have to be administered from a single
point of operation. In this case, a console switch can be used
to switch the monitor, keyboard and mouse to different serv-
ers. This can be done using hot keys on the console. The
user interface is implemented with an on-screen display that
is available on the monitor for a short time.
