Vertiv Avocent LRA Single-Rail 18.5" LCD Console Tray

The Vertiv Avocent LRA Single-Rail 18.5" LCD Console Tray (LRA185KMM8-001) is a rack-integrated console solution that combines an 18.5-inch widescreen LCD display, a full-travel keyboard, and an integrated touchpad into a single 1U sliding drawer designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks. The unit incorporates an 8-port analog KVM switch directly into the chassis, enabling administrators to manage up to eight locally connected servers from a single consolidated interface without requiring a separate KVM unit. The single-rail mounting mechanism allows the drawer to extend smoothly from the rack for active use and retract flush when not in operation, preserving front-panel access to adjacent equipment.

The integrated 8-port KVM architecture supports direct PS/2 and USB server connections via standard KVM cable sets, providing local port-based switching between connected hosts. The LCD panel delivers a native widescreen resolution suitable for contemporary server management interfaces, BIOS-level access, and operating system console sessions. The keyboard deck and touchpad input device are built into the drawer surface, eliminating the need for external peripherals and reducing cable management complexity within the rack environment.

This console tray is well suited to new rack builds in data centers, colocation facilities, and enterprise server rooms where a self-contained, space-efficient local management interface is required alongside structured cable management. The all-in-one form factor reduces the number of individual rack units consumed by separate KVM switches, monitors, and keyboard-video-mouse peripherals, making the LRA185KMM8-001 a practical choice for high-density rack deployments where rack unit economy and reliable out-of-band local access are operational priorities.

Ideal for

• New rack build deployments in enterprise data centers requiring a single-unit local console and KVM solution without separate standalone components
• Colocation environments where technicians need direct, physical BIOS-level and OS-level access to multiple tenant servers from a standardized rack-mounted interface
• High-density server rooms where minimizing rack unit consumption for console infrastructure is essential to maximizing usable server capacity
• Disaster recovery and out-of-band management scenarios where a locally accessible KVM console must remain operational independent of network connectivity
• Server staging and commissioning workflows requiring repeated switching between multiple hosts during initial configuration and software deployment
• Managed hosting facilities maintaining consistent, auditable local access points for hardware troubleshooting and emergency remediation across standardized rack configurations
