1. Product Overview
1.1 Brief Introduction
The LED panel and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each
other, the keyboard/touchpad module slides back to “hide away” when not in use,
while the thin profile LED monitor rotates backflush against the rackallowing
administrators to easily monitor computer.
To make it more convenient, external USB or PS/2 keyboard/mouse/monitor are
added to rear panel.
KVM - over - IP(Hereinafter refers to IP-KVM) reloads the local keyboard,mouse
and video to a remote management console.Operator can safely get the BIOS level
access,maintenance,support and recover system fault by using the standard Internet
browser. It has passed SLL security certification and has been encrypted.
IP-KVM can easily access and control the remote KVM via LAN or Internet.It
gathers the compressed video signal and the keyboard/mouse signal, then converts
them into digital signal and transmits to the remote computer. IP-KVM supports
remote access and provides solutions for control non-invasion remote.
IP-KVM console integrates multiple ports KVM switches in a 1U height console.
It can control multiple computers with a set of device including monitor, keyboard and
mouse. Thus save much cost and space to separately equip keyboard, mouse and
monitor for every computer.
It is easy and fast to install the KVM console; you just need to connect
corresponding cables to the right ports of KVM and its module without software
configuration. Connect multiple computers with RJ-45 connector and CAT5 cable,
transmitting distance is up to 150M without a KVM extender.

computer--1600*1200@60Hz(50m),1280*1024@60Hz(100m),
1024*768@60Hz(150m)
Support multiple platforms: Windows2000/XP/Vista,Linux,Mac and Sun

2.2 When the server is up and running
The KVM-over-IP gives you a full control over the remote server. The
Management Console allows you to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard
and mouse and to send special commands to the server. You can also perform
periodic maintenance of the server. Using the Console Redirection Service, you are
able to do the following:
1.Restart the system.
2. Watch the boot process.
3. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic
environment.
4. Run special diagnostic program.
2.3 When the server is dead
Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible through a remote management
device.
Nevertheless KVM-over-IP gives the administrator valuable information about the
type of a hardware failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five
different categories with different chances to happen:
1. Hard disk failure 50%
2.Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%
3.CPU, controller, main board failure 10%
4.CPU fan failure 8%
5.RAM failure 4%
Using KVM-over-IP, administrators can determine which kind of serious
hardware failure has occurred
Type of Failure
Detected by
Hard disk failure
Console screen, CMOS set-up information
Power cable detached,
power supply failure
Server remains in power off state after
power on command has been given.
CPU Controller, main board
failure.
Power supply is on, but there is no video
output.
CPU fan failure
By server specific management software
RAM failure
