Lenovo 1754A1X Rack Mounting KVM Switch

The Lenovo 1754A1X is an eight port KVM switch that installs in a single 1U rack space and lets you control multiple servers from one local keyboard, video, and mouse console. By using familiar CAT5 cabling, it cuts down on bulky traditional KVM cords and keeps the rack neat while still delivering dependable signal quality.

An intuitive on-screen interface allows quick channel switching, so you can move from server to server without losing time during maintenance windows. The switch supports VGA video up to 1600 x 1200, giving you a clear view of BIOS prompts and operating-system consoles during troubleshooting. A DB9 console port offers straightforward connectivity for your keyboard and mouse.

If your environment expands, the 1754A1X can cascade with other Lenovo KVM switches to manage as many as 128 systems while still relying on a single user interface. This scale-out approach is ideal for Lenovo System x or BladeCenter deployments, lab clusters, and densely packed data centers that need direct, out-of-band access without tying up network bandwidth.

Administrators, lab technicians, and field engineers will appreciate being able to walk up to the rack, select a target server, and resolve issues on the spot. The result is faster recovery from hardware or software faults, less downtime, and a cleaner overall rack layout.
