The HPE KVM IP Console Switch will support up to 2 users as 1 remote user and 1 local user.
-
Full remote KVM functionality – Remote KVM control of servers and serially attached devices at near local performance.
-
Remote and local virtual media:
- Administrators can map local media on a work station to a remote server in the data center or remote office to easily perform application installations or upgrades.
- A USB CD-ROM, USB DVD, USB floppy drive, or USB key can be attached directly to the HPE KVM IP Console Switch and mapped to an attached server.
- When used locally with the HPE LCD8500, USB drives can be connected to the front USB port on the console for increased ease of use.
- Virtual media support requires the use of virtual media interface adapters
-
Tiering support:
- Two levels of cascading are available to support up to 256 servers. When all tiers are comprised of virtual media compatible console switches and interface adapters, virtual media can be mapped to a server on any tier.
-
iLO compatibility – Easily switch between remote KVM and iLO sessions directly from the IP viewer software.
-
Local console OSD – Displays all system-related information on the console monitor.
-
OBWI – Browser based access for management of the KVM appliance and interface adapters as well as initiating a remote console session with a managed device.
-
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 user 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. The NVRAM stores the resulting configuration until a user decision is made to change the information, even if the unit loses power.
-
Password protection – For protection against unauthorized users, the appliance provides a local password option for security purposes as well as individual user authentication and access rights for remote users.
-
Switch firmware update – The application code of the switch can be quickly and easily updated VIA FLASH ROM. Updates can be accomplished remotely over the LAN using the OBWI.
-
Multiple Space Saving 0U Installation Methods:
- Rear rack mount – HPE KVM IP Console Switch may be mounted behind a HPE 1U rackmount keyboard, or the rack mounted keyboard and monitor with slide rails provided with the switch.
- Side mount – Use optional rails for mounting the unit to the side of rack cabinets with side mounting capability.
- Shared – Mounting attachment points and features allow it to be mounted horizontally in the front or rear (1U) of a standard19” HPE rack enclosure; vertically (Only in an HPE rack) in the 0U space located in the sidewall of the rack with connectors up only; or lastly, behind an HPE 1U keyboard/monitor product.

Tiering configurations
|
Tiering is the ability to connect one or more switches under a single switch at the top as in a pyramid. Tiering allows an administrator to access larger numbers of servers from a single local or remote console. The HPE KVM IP console switch will support up to 2 levels of tiering under certain conditions.
-
HPE KVM IP console switch may be cascaded to KVM switches with virtual media or any Cat5 based HPE KVM IP console switch by connecting a Cat5 cable from a server port on the top switch to the dedicated tiering port on the switch below. Interface adapters are not needed to cascade HPE KVM IP console switch.
-
Virtual media can be mapped to servers on any tier but only if the server is connected to a HPE KVM IP console switch using a virtual media interface adapter. Virtual media operation requires a virtual media interface adapter connected to a HPE KVM IP console switch with virtual media.
-
An HPE KVM IP console switch cannot be tiered under a legacy Cat5 based HPE Server switch.
-
To perform a firmware upgrade for a tiered HPE KVM IP console switch and all attached interface adapters; user must connect directly to the tiered HPE KVM IP Console Switch On-Board Web Interface (OBWI).
