Black Box KVM Tray With Keyboard, Touchpad, And LCD Monitor

Meet a compact, IP-enabled KVM solution designed for IT environments where secure, centralized access to multiple servers is essential. The Black Box KVM Tray with Keyboard, Touchpad, and LCD Monitor combines a full-sized keyboard, responsive touchpad, and a bright LCD display into a single, ergonomic console that fits neatly into racks, cabinets, or control desks. This integrated tray is built to streamline management, optimize space, and reduce the footprint of traditional multi-box setups. With included management software and the ability to support up to four simultaneous KVMoIP users, administrators can monitor, troubleshoot, and control different computers from anywhere on the network. Its flexible control options—OSD menus, hotkeys, or mouse navigation—make routine operations faster and more intuitive, while password security helps safeguard critical infrastructure. For growing environments, expansion is simple through ServSwitch CX Uno modules KV0161A and KV0081A, enabling scalable configurations without replacing existing hardware.

• The KVM over IP design enables up to four concurrent remote sessions, allowing IT teams to access and manage multiple servers from a single console. This capability reduces the need for dedicated workstations at each server rack and speeds up maintenance, patching, and troubleshooting across data centers, labs, and enterprise environments. Operators can switch between servers quickly, perform remote reboots, monitor console output, and apply configuration changes without leaving their workstation, improving uptime and efficiency.
• Integrated input and display—a full keyboard, precise touchpad, and an LCD monitor are housed within a single, space-saving tray. This eliminates the clutter of separate keyboards, mice, and displays at each rack and provides a convenient local view for on-site tasks. The LCD can show essential status indicators and gather on-screen information through the OSD, ensuring operators have both the remote and local perspectives needed for accurate server management.
• Flexible control options give administrators multiple ways to interact with connected systems. The on-screen display (OSD) menu provides a graphical interface for configuring networks, users, and access policies. Hotkeys deliver rapid, hands-free switching between endpoints, while native mouse control offers intuitive navigation for those who prefer a familiar workflow. This combination reduces training time and accelerates routine tasks such as baselining configurations, applying firmware updates, and performing routine checks.
• Security and access management are central to this KVM tray. Password protection ensures that only authorized personnel can initiate KVM sessions, view console output, or change system settings. Role-based access, if supported by the included management software, helps organizations enforce least-privilege principles, protecting sensitive server environments from accidental or intentional misuse. Centralized user management also simplifies auditing and compliance workflows by maintaining a clear history of access events and configuration changes.
• Expandable and future-proof design supports scalable growth. The unit is designed to work with ServSwitch CX Uno modules KV0161A and KV0081A, enabling administrators to expand the number of connected endpoints as their network grows. This modular approach protects existing investments by allowing incremental upgrades, reducing the need for disruptive replacements while preserving a consistent user experience across the entire KVM infrastructure.
