Description

The HPE LCD8500 1U Rackmount KVM Console is a high-density server room console combining an 18.5-inch WXGA TFT LCD Brightview display with an integrated keyboard and touch pad in a slim 1U rack-mountable chassis. Designed for US keyboard layouts, it supports video resolutions from 800×600 up to 1600×1200 at 60–75 Hz, delivering a flicker-free, sharp image ideal for data centre administrators managing multiple servers in high-density environments. The unit features tool-less rail installation and space to mount an HPE KVM switch directly behind the console, maximising rack efficiency.

Two front-side USB pass-through ports enable virtual media functionality when paired with compatible HPE KVM Console Switches, while the built-in OSD controls provide quick access to brightness, contrast, and image adjustments. A lid switch automatically shuts off the backlight when closed and restores to the current state when reopened, extending panel life.
