Vertiv DKMMLED185-DMPU2-KIT8 KVM Switch Kit
Overview
The Vertiv DKMMLED185-DMPU2-KIT8 is an 18.5-inch KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch kit designed for centralized control of multiple servers. This unit integrates an LCD display, keyboard, and touchpad into a single rack-mountable console, streamlining server management in data centers and enterprise environments. The DKMMLED185-DMPU2-KIT8 specifically provides 8 SIP (Server Interface Pod) connections, allowing you to manage up to 8 individual servers from one workstation.
Compatibility
This KVM kit is engineered to interface with a wide range of servers and IT infrastructure components. It is compatible with standard rack-mount servers and network devices that utilize USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, and VGA or DVI video outputs via the included Server Interface Pods. The 8 SIP ports are designed for broad compatibility across major server manufacturers. Consult the Vertiv compatibility matrix for specific model support.
Installation Notes
Installation requires mounting the 1U rack-height console into a standard 19-inch server rack. Each Server Interface Pod connects to a server's keyboard, video, and mouse ports, and then to the KVM switch unit via a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable (or proprietary cable depending on the specific pod variant). Ensure adequate airflow around the rack for heat dissipation. Power is supplied via a standard AC power cord.
