Up to (32) target server ports per switch for a wider range of rack density support. Enhanced Remote Functionality for Quick and Easy Management HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches includes full remote KVM functionality giving you remote KVM control of servers and serially attached devices at near local performance. Easily load and update software and firmware from anywhere on the LAN or WAN when used with Virtual Media Interface Adapters. iLO compatibility-Easily switch between remote KVM and iLO sessions directly from the IP Viewer software. Remote KVM control of servers and serially attached devices at near local performance Robust Local Console User Interface HPE Enterprise IP KVM switches displays all system-related information on the console monitor.

Programmable Scanning-An evaluation of system performance can be made by sequentially scanning any or all of the computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration of the connection. Configuration NVRAM-NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) makes it easy to set configuration information using commands entered from the keyboard.

It can also be mounted in the side of an HPE rack with the included rails. PS2 Virtual Media Interface Adapter supports servers with PS2 mouse and keyboard connection and a USB port for virtual media. This is the recommended interface adapter for virtual media. USB Virtual Media Interface Adapter supports servers without PS2 mouse and keyboard connections such as Integrity servers running Microsoft Windows.
