Overview
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 switch, as many as 256 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 or serial attached device. Equipment can be identified by
a user-defined name or sequentially by number, enabling easy access.
HP Server Console Switches can be connected in a tiered fashion, to increase server access from eight servers to as many as 256
servers. Switching between computers is accomplished by typing a switching command at the keyboard, or by using the mouse to
interact with the graphic interface of the selected computer via the OSD.
The HP Server Console Switch family of products is available in 8- and 16-Port versions. Both versions offers dual console support,
allowing the flexibility of controlling switch configurations from more than one location, or by more than one user. Standard rack
mounting of the HP Server Console Switches will take up 1U (1.75") of front panel rack space. However, the Switches can also be
mounted in a "zero U" profile by mounting in the side rails of the rack, or behind the HP 1U Keyboard Drawer or the 1U TFT7600
Keyboard/monitor drawer.
