Vertiv MPUIQ-VMCDP Server Interface Module

Overview

The Vertiv MPUIQ-VMCDP is a Server Interface Module (SIM) designed to provide remote access and control for servers. It specifically supports DisplayPort video, USB 2.0 for keyboard and mouse input, and features for handling Common Access Cards (CAC) and virtual media. This module is critical for IT infrastructure where direct physical access to servers is impractical, enabling management from a remote console or KVM switch. The MPUIQ-VMCDP ensures that essential peripherals and security credentials can be transmitted reliably over extended distances.

Compatibility

This Server Interface Module is designed to connect to specific Vertiv server appliances and systems. It is compatible with appliances that support the MPUIQ series of SIMs, including the MPUIQ-SRL, DSAVIQ-PS2M, MPUIQ-VMCDP, MPUIQ-VMCDV, MPUIQ-VMCHD, MPUIQ-VMCHS-G01, SFIQ-VGA, and SFIQ-VGA08 server interface modules. It is intended for use with MPU, AV3108, and AV3216 appliances, facilitating a consistent remote management solution across these platforms.

Installation Notes

The MPUIQ-VMCDP connects to the server via a proprietary cable (typically included with the server appliance or KVM switch) and to the remote console via standard DisplayPort, USB 2.0, and CAC reader connections. Ensure that the server appliance or KVM switch it connects to is powered and operational. The module itself is typically powered by the connected server appliance. Verify that the server appliance firmware is up-to-date to ensure full compatibility and functionality with the virtual media and CAC features.
