Dell modular servers also include vKVM as a standard feature, routing the operator's keyboard

output, mouse output and video between the target server module and a console located on the

system management IP network. With up to two simultaneous vKVM sessions per blade, remote

management now satisfies virtually any usage model. vMedia is also now standard, providing

emulation of USB DVD R/W, USB CD R/W, USB flash drive, USB ISO image, and USB floppy over an

IP interface. Connection to vKVM and vMedia is through the CMC, with encryption available on a per

stream basis.

It is possible to connect the following Dell and Avocent KVMIP switches to the iKVM card in the

M1000e blade enclosure using a CAT5 cable.
