SUN keyboard for 19 inch rack

2007-12-25 11:45:00

hi,

the original query:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

we have a 19 inch wide rack with all the servers placed on the rack.the

keyboard is connected thru a switch to all the servers. The problem is we are

unable to use the Sun keyboard shipped with the system.

please let me know if a keyboard is available which is 19 inches wide.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first summary:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like very few people have faced this problem.

Thanks to Jason Marshall,John Sutton,Rich Casto for their responses.

No one could give me a vendor who can supply such keyboards, so i guess there

isn't one.

A work around could be to use the older Sun4 keyboard which is narrower.

After the first summary I recieved responses from the following.

Thanks for your help.

Summary:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

While some of the solutions pointed out a Sun Express product item no.

X465A(list price $ 75) some others suggested using the keyboard of the old

Voyager systems. One of the suggestions did advise repackaging the Sun 5

keyboard itself to fit into the rack.

The Sun Express product item no. X465A is a device that allows you to connect

a PC keyboard and mouse/trackball to the Sun keyboard port.
