Vertiv MPUIQ-VMCDV Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Vertiv MPUIQ-VMCDV is a Server Interface Module (SIM) designed to extend DVI video, USB keyboard/mouse, and USB 2.0 virtual media connections. It supports Common Access Card (CAC) readers, enabling secure remote access and management of servers from a distance. This module is critical for data center operations where direct physical access to servers is impractical or undesirable, allowing IT personnel to maintain and troubleshoot systems as if they were physically present.

Compatibility

The MPUIQ-VMCDV is specifically designed for use with Vertiv's range of Server Interface Modules and KVM switches. It is compatible with the following adapter types within the Vertiv SIM family: MPUIQ-SRL, DSAVIQ-PS2M, MPUIQ-VMCDP, MPUIQ-VMCHD, MPUIQ-VMCHS-G01, and SFIQ-VGA. It interfaces with specific Vertiv appliances and systems that support these SIM modules for extended connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting the DVI video output, USB keyboard, and USB mouse from the target server to the MPUIQ-VMCDV module. The module then connects to the KVM switch or head-end unit via its own proprietary cabling (not included). Ensure proper cable management to avoid strain on the connectors. The USB 2.0 virtual media and CAC support require compatible firmware on both the SIM module and the head-end KVM switch.
