HP's Server Console Switch with Virtual Media is a key component in managing the data center. Connections for two local consoles (a
console represents one keyboard, monitor and mouse) allow access to multiple servers running various operating systems. Virtual
Media capability allows a USB drive attached directly to the server console switch to be mapped to an attached server for installations
and upgrades. The local console user interface provides menus for configuration, virtual media, display, and even security and
upgrades.
In cascaded environments the Server Console Switch with Virtual Media can allow an administrator to manage up to 1024 servers
across two tiers from a single console. When tiered with additional HP Console Switches with Virtual Media application installations and
upgrades can be pushed through to any server on any of the two tiers from a single console.
The HP Server Console Switch with Virtual Media is backwards compatible with all HP Cat5 based Server Console Switches and interface
adapters.
Standard rack mounting of the HP Server Console Switches will take up 1U (1.75") of front panel rack space. However, the Switches can
also be mounted behind the HP 1U Rackmount Keyboard or the 1U TFT7600 Rackmount Keyboard Monitor or in a "zero U" profile by
mounting in the side rails of the rack.
