Dell KMM 18.5" LCD Console Tray with 8-Port KVM

The Dell KMM 18.5" LCD Console Tray with 8-Port KVM (A7485902) is a 1U rack-integrated console solution that combines a high-resolution LCD display, full-travel keyboard, and touchpad pointing device with an 8-port analog KVM switch into a single sliding drawer unit. Designed for direct integration into standard 19-inch EIA-310 compliant racks, the unit eliminates the need for separate console and KVM components, reducing rack unit consumption and simplifying cabling in dense server environments. The 18.5-inch widescreen LCD panel delivers a native 1366×768 resolution, providing clear visibility for BIOS-level access, operating system management, and hardware diagnostics across up to eight directly attached servers.

The integrated 8-port KVM functionality supports simultaneous connection of up to eight servers via standard PS/2 or USB server interface connections, enabling administrators to switch between managed nodes through on-screen display (OSD) navigation or direct port-select controls on the unit. The console tray extends smoothly from the rack on a heavy-duty rail mechanism and folds flush when not in use, maintaining compatibility with airflow management and cable management practices typical of Dell PowerEdge rack deployments. This architecture is particularly well suited to environments where out-of-band management infrastructure is not yet deployed or where direct physical console access must be maintained alongside remote management tools.

Built specifically for Dell PowerEdge rack server environments, the A7485902 is engineered to mount within Dell-branded rack enclosures and is widely deployed in data center colocation suites, enterprise server rooms, and edge computing installations where compact, reliable local console access is operationally essential. The unit supports both PS/2 and USB connectivity to attached servers, broadening compatibility across generational server hardware within a single rack. The OSD interface allows port labeling, port scanning, and access security, supporting disciplined multi-server management from a single physical console position.

Ideal for

• Centralized local console access for up to eight Dell PowerEdge servers within a single rack, reducing the need for multiple standalone monitors and keyboards on the data center floor
• BIOS-level configuration and firmware update management for rack servers where remote out-of-band access is unavailable or must be supplemented with direct physical control
• Data center colocation environments where operators require a compact, lockable console drawer that secures within the rack footprint when not in active use
• Edge computing deployments and remote equipment rooms where rack space is constrained and a combined KVM-console appliance minimizes hardware sprawl
• Server provisioning and OS installation workflows requiring direct keyboard, video, and mouse access prior to network stack configuration or remote management agent deployment
• Hardware fault diagnosis and recovery operations, including crash analysis and recovery mode access, where direct physical console presence is required independent of network availability
