HP HPE 336045-B21 16 port Dual console KVM switch 396631-001
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. Servers
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.
