APC by Schneider Electric KVM-USBVM Server Module

Overview

The APC KVM-USBVM is a 2G Server Module designed for remote management of servers within an APC KVM 2G Analog Console Switch. It bridges the gap between your server's USB keyboard/mouse ports and the KVM switch's RJ-45 interface, while also providing Virtual Media capabilities. This module is essential for environments where direct physical access to servers is impractical or impossible, allowing for BIOS-level control and file transfer remotely. Deploy this module when you need to integrate USB-based servers into an existing KVM 2G infrastructure.

Compatibility

This KVM Server Module is specifically designed for use with the APC KVM 2G Analog Console Switch system. It supports servers running Windows, Sun, Unix, and Linux operating systems. The module utilizes standard USB connectors for keyboard and mouse input and an RJ-45 connector for connection to the KVM switch. Ensure your KVM switch is an APC KVM 2G model to guarantee compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting the module's USB and D-Sub connectors to the server's corresponding ports and the RJ-45 connector to an available port on the KVM 2G Analog Console Switch. The module is powered by the KVM switch itself, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. Its compact form factor (125mm W x 125mm D x 14mm H) allows for discreet placement behind servers or within racks. The black housing ensures it blends with standard rack equipment.
