HP Server Console Switches are key components for rack mount implementations (a console represents one keyboard video monitor and mouse (KVM) attached to a server). The family of HP Server Console Switches allows multiple servers in a rack to be accessed and managed by one keyboard monitor and mouse. By using a console as many as 128 computers running different operating systems can be managed. The 8-Port and 16-port Server Console Switches feature an On-Screen Display (OSD) interface which has intuitive menus for accessing each attached computer. Servers can be identified by a user-defined name or sequentially by number enabling easy access to connected servers.Primary InformationNetworking Type : KVM switch Form Factor : External Connectivity Technology : Wired Networking / Ports Qty : 8 Users Qty : 1 local user Data Link Protocol : PS/2 Width : 17.2 Inch Depth : 6.5 Inch Height : 1.7 Inch PC Compatibility : PC Server connection via twisted pair Special FeatureCOO : MalaysiaUnited States TAA : Yes UNSPSC CodeUNSPSC Code : 43222612 Product IDUPC: 808736948739Manufacturer Part: 336044-B21
