Physical Terminal Console

In our server rack, we have tucked away a screen+keyboard combo, for direct access to the virtual console of hn-1.

• Monitor/Keyboard: Aten CL6700MW (17“ monitor, keyboard) Datasheet
• KVM switch: Aten CS1308 (8-way VGA/USB switch) Datasheet

CS6700MW Console (left set of terminals): is an output, hence only useful if you want to connect an external screen.

CS6700MW CPU (right set of terminals): has a VGA male (!) plug, i. e. can be connected

1. to a computer's VGA output via a rare VGA extension cord (male-female), or with a regular male-male connection cable and a VGA gender-changer adapter (female-female)
2. to the KVM switch
