Tripp Lite B021-000-19-HD2 – 1U Rackmount Console, 19" 1080p LCD, DVI/VGA, TAA

Product Overview

The Tripp Lite B021-000-19-HD2 is a 1U rackmount console combining a 19-inch Full HD 1080p LCD display, full keyboard with numeric keypad, and touchpad in a single drawer that slides into any EIA-standard 19-inch rack. Designed for data centers and commercial server rooms where rack space is limited, the B021-000-19-HD2 provides all-in-one control of servers, computers, or KVM switches via its DVI-I console port, which supports both DVI digital and VGA analog signals using the included DVI-to-VGA adapter. The console is TAA compliant for GSA Schedule purchases and compatible with all major operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, UNIX, and Solaris.

Product Description

The B021-000-19-HD2 installs in 1U of rack space using the included mounting brackets. When not in use, the drawer slides back into the rack and enters automatic sleep mode, keeping the keyboard and screen from obstructing access to other rack equipment. When needed, the drawer pulls out and the LCD flips up for immediate use. This design is particularly practical in dense rack environments where every rack unit carries high-value equipment and unobstructed front access is important.

The 19-inch LCD supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, providing a large, clear display for server management tasks. DDC2B emulation automatically adjusts video settings for optimal display output from the connected computer or KVM switch. The DVI-I console port accepts both DVI digital and VGA analog signals, allowing the console to connect to any server or KVM switch with a DVI or VGA output. A DVI-to-VGA adapter is included.

USB 2.0 pass-through ports on both the front and rear panels allow a USB peripheral such as a flash drive or CAC card reader to be connected to the server through the console. The console is compatible with all KVM switches that have a VGA or DVI video port and USB keyboard/mouse ports, making it straightforward to integrate into an existing KVM infrastructure without replacing other hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the B021-000-19-HD2 work with VGA-only KVM switches?

Yes. The DVI-I console port accepts both DVI digital and VGA analog signals, and the unit includes a DVI-to-VGA adapter, allowing direct connection to KVM switches or servers with VGA outputs without requiring an additional adapter purchase.

Can I connect a USB drive or security card reader through the console?

Yes. USB 2.0 pass-through ports on both the front and rear panels allow USB peripherals such as flash drives, CAC card readers, and other USB 2.0 devices to be connected to the server through the console. A USB cable (sold separately) is required.

How does the automatic sleep mode work?

When the drawer is closed and slid back into the rack, the B021-000-19-HD2 automatically enters sleep mode. This reduces power consumption and prevents unintended keyboard or touchpad input while the console is stowed. It wakes when the drawer is pulled out and the screen is opened.

Can the B021-000-19-HD2 be used as a standalone console without a KVM switch?

Yes. The console can connect directly to a single server or computer via the DVI-I port and USB keyboard/mouse connection, functioning as a dedicated rackmount access terminal for a single managed system.

Is this product eligible for government procurement?

Yes. The B021-000-19-HD2 is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule purchases and other federal government procurement programs.
