8-port KVM Module for Rack-mount LCD Consoles Use With a Separate PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Steel

Applications:

• Add single console administration to your Co-location/ISP facility saving you time and money
• Perfect for manufacturing line computer control, simplifying access to multiple systems
• Great for PC test/burn-in computer control saving the desk space required for multiple monitors, keyboards and
mice

Description:

This 8-port KVM module works with the StarTech.com series of rack-mounted LCD consoles, enabling you to control
eight servers from one location. You can upgrade a single port LCD console or replace a faulty console (see our list
of compatible LCD consoles below).
With independent VGA and PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, you can also use this switch as a standalone KVM,
creating a discreet rack-mountable KVM solution.
By adding this KVM module to your rack mount LCD console you can control eight individual computers or servers
from a centralized location.
Because the KVM module works with your existing LCD console, you can ensure simple integration into your server
room setup. To ensure compatibility this KVM module supports any operating system and has been extensively tested in
Windows, Mac, and Linux environments.
You can also connect to both PS/2 and USB servers using StarTech.com’s convenient line of interface-specific KVM
cables. The cables come in a variety of lengths with PS/2 or USB depending on your specific server requirements.
