Description

Black Box KV9516A KVM Switch

Overview

The Black Box KV9516A is a 16-port KVM switch designed to consolidate control of multiple DVI-D equipped computers onto a single workstation. This unit streamlines operations in environments where managing several servers or workstations is necessary, such as data centers, control rooms, or broadcast facilities. Its black, rack-mountable form factor ensures it integrates cleanly into existing infrastructure, providing efficient access and control without requiring multiple keyboards, video monitors, and mice.

Compatibility

This KVM switch is engineered for systems utilizing DVI-D video connections. It supports up to 16 individual computer connections, each requiring a DVI-D video output and standard USB for keyboard and mouse input. Ensure your target computers are equipped with DVI-D ports and USB 2.0 or higher for full functionality. It is designed to work with standard DVI-D cables and USB peripherals.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting DVI-D cables from each computer's video output to the corresponding input ports on the KV9516A. Similarly, USB cables from each computer's USB port connect to the switch. The user console requires one DVI-D monitor, one USB keyboard, and one USB mouse connected to the designated console ports. Power is supplied via an included AC adapter. Proper cable management is recommended for optimal organization and airflow within the rack.
