Eaton B070‑008‑19 – Rack KVM Console 8‑Port 19″ LCD

Overview

The Eaton B070‑008‑19 is a 1‑rack‑unit (1U) integrated console KVM (Keyboard‑Video‑Mouse) switch with an onboard 19″ LCD, keyboard, and touchpad for direct control of multiple servers or compute nodes. IT infrastructure engineers and data center technicians deploy this solution to consolidate local access to multiple systems at a single rack position, eliminating the need for separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse peripherals at each host.

It incorporates an 8‑port KVM switch, enabling control of up to eight servers from one console. The built‑in display supports standard VGA inputs, and USB/PS/2 interfaces service keyboard and pointing devices. Cabling between the KVM unit and host systems uses inexpensive Cat5e/6/6a with server interface modules, simplifying long‑run connections up to ~100 ft (30 m) while keeping structured cabling consistent with common network media practices.

Designed for rack environments, the B070‑008‑19 occupies 1U of standard 19″ rack space and installs into typical IDF/MDF or server racks. The console flips up within its drawer when in use and stows back to maintain a clean rack profile when idle. The form factor supports use in data centers, server rooms, and distributed IT closets where space efficiency and consolidated local access are priorities.

Integration with existing infrastructure requires only standard VGA and USB/PS2 connections to host devices; user‑supplied Cat5e/6 cabling and server interface modules extend the reach from KVM to remote systems. Password access controls and on‑screen display (OSD) menus provide basic session management without additional management appliances.

In a practical deployment, the B070‑008‑19 serves as the central maintenance console in a rack housing multiple servers, enabling technicians to access any host without rolling a cart with discrete peripherals. This consolidates service access and reduces rack clutter. Use it when frequent physical server interaction is required during maintenance windows or troubleshooting cycles.

This unit should not be used where remote IP‑based KVM access is required as a standalone solution without an add‑on remote unit, nor is it appropriate for environments where direct RS‑232 or network‑based serial console management is mandatory. It is a local access console and does not replace centralized out‑of‑band management infrastructures.
