Maximum connectivity
The Dell KVM 1081AD has eight analog rack interface (ARI) ports for connecting to SIPs attached to servers.
- Four SIPs (PS/2, USB, USB2 Virtual Media, and USB2 Virtual Media + CAC) are available to address a variety of connectivity needs for servers.
- One SIP can replace a bulky keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) cable by converting the signals and driving them up to 50 feet through a single CAT 5 cable without signal degradation. The SIP cable draws power from the server, and it’s designed to keep the server working properly even if the Dell KVM connection is broken.
Easy to manage
Manage your data center using the Dell RCS software or the onboard Web interface (OBWI) with the optional Remote Access Key.
- RCS software is a cross-platform management application that enables you to view and control the Dell KVM and all attached servers. It provides secure switch-based authentication, data transfers and username/password storage.
- The OBWI provides similar management functions as the RCS software. It’s launched directly from the switch through a Web browser, and any servers connected to the KVM are automatically detected.
