7316-TF4 IBM 18.5-Inch 1U Flat Panel Console Kit

The IBM 7316-TF4 is the 18.5-inch Flat Panel Rack-Mounted Monitor and Keyboard, a flat-panel display and keyboard tray in one unit that occupies 1U of rack space. An optional console switch can be mounted behind the console to attach more than one server to the single display and keyboard.

The console mounts on slide rails for easy movement and storage, installs without tools in the 1U space of IBM rack configurations and can ship installed in an IBM rack. The cable-management arm comes preinstalled on the rear. The 18.5-inch 16:9 LCD panel connects to the server or KVM switch by VGA and handles widescreen and older resolutions through scaling.

The panel is a TFT active matrix with a 376.32 x 301.056 mm display area, 250 cd/m2 typical brightness, a 1000:1 typical contrast ratio, 16.7 million colors and 170 degree horizontal and 160 degree vertical viewing angles. The optimum mode is 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz, with 1280 x 1024 at 70 Hz as the maximum. Power draw is 17 W typical and 22 W maximum from a 100-240 V ac adapter.

The console is 44 mm high with the display stored and 434 mm wide, and fits racks with 613 to 909 mm between front and rear posts, or 706 to 909 mm when room is left for a console switch. The kit includes the console unit, two outer rails, two console-switch mounting brackets, a 2.8 m IEC power cable and a bag of M5 clip nuts and screws.
