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 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. Server can be identified by a user-defined name or sequentially by number enabling easy access to connected servers. HP Server Console Switches can be connected in a tiered fashion to increase server access from eight servers to as many as 128 servers. (256 servers if tiering to an HP IP Console Switch) 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
