Home / Disadvantages of Rack-Mounted KVM Switches

A Clamshell design hinges the display at the rear so that it folds forward over the keyboard for storage. Dumb question: Who actually uses rack mounted KVMs instead of RDP with a PC? I work at a facility that installs, configures, programs, and test server and network equipment and the rack mounted KVM just proves to be a pain to use, so we don't. The only negative aspect of needing hardware support is a fully functional KVM can be dropped. However, with the democratization of Chromebooks based on these chips and mobile devices, it will not. These switches can be installed in a rack port, along with other UPS systems and PDUs.

There are two basic designs for KVMs: clamshell and lay-flat. A Clamshell design hinges the display at the rear so that it folds forward over the keyboard for storage. The advantage to this design is shorter installed depth. The disadvantage is the 1U thickness of the assembly limits the available height for the keyboard and track-ball (if installed). Some KVMs have been designed to fit into 2U to allow a larger track-ball and full-travel keyboard to be installed.
