Vertiv ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ 2-Year Silver Service Plan for Avocent ADX IPIQ
Overview
The ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ is a 2-year Silver-tier service agreement for the Vertiv Avocent ADX IPIQ digital infrastructure platform — the KVM-over-IP solution built for data center and enterprise server-room environments where remote console access reliability is non-negotiable. If your team depends on the ADX IPIQ for out-of-band management of physical servers, this service plan keeps that access path covered with defined support entitlements over a two-year term.
The Avocent ADX platform supports up to 1920×1200 resolution at 30 Hz with 16-bit color, meaning remote desktop sessions render with enough fidelity to catch BIOS-level detail and OS console output without squinting at compressed artifacts. Pair that with dual 10/100 Mb SP connectivity ports, and you have redundant network paths into the management plane — critical when the production network is what you're trying to recover. A VGA port and USB port round out the physical interface profile for local access when needed.

Key Features
- 1920×1200 @ 30 Hz, 16-bit color: Full HD-plus resolution over IP means you can read kernel panic output, BIOS menus, and CLI text at full fidelity remotely — no more guessing at pixelated crash screens during an incident response at 2 AM.
- Dual 10/100 Mb SP connectivity ports: Two independent network paths into the IPIQ unit mean a switch failure or VLAN misconfiguration on one interface doesn't lock you out of the management console. This is the architecture that earns its keep during network outages.
- VGA + USB local interface: When remote access itself is what's broken, local console access via VGA and USB keeps your hands-on technician connected without needing a separate crash cart. The USB port supports keyboard and mouse pass-through for direct local control.
- 5V power input: Low-voltage DC power draw keeps the unit compatible with standard rack PDU infrastructure and reduces heat contribution in dense deployments. No specialty power conditioning needed.
- 2-year Silver service coverage: The ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ service plan provides defined support entitlements from Vertiv over a two-year term — keeping your out-of-band management hardware backed by the manufacturer rather than relying on reactive break-fix procurement when a unit fails at the worst possible time.
- Compact 22-inch form factor: Designed to fit within standard rack infrastructure without consuming additional rack units beyond the base IPIQ deployment, keeping your rack layout clean in space-constrained environments.
Integration and Compatibility
The ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ service plan is specifically matched to the Vertiv Avocent ADX IPIQ platform — it is not a generic service SKU and should be paired with the correct hardware unit. The IPIQ's dual-port SP connectivity and VGA/USB interface profile make it appropriate for environments where physical servers require BIOS-level remote management alongside traditional IP-based monitoring. IT teams running KVM switches and out-of-band management infrastructure alongside their IP security or building automation stacks will find the ADX platform integrates into existing data center management workflows without requiring proprietary VMS or DCIM platforms. Administrators managing mixed server environments — Windows, Linux, or bare-metal appliances — benefit from the resolution and color depth the IPIQ delivers over IP, particularly during OS deployment, crash recovery, or firmware update operations where GUI fidelity matters.
If your environment relies on structured network switching infrastructure to segment management traffic from production traffic, the dual-port design of the IPIQ supports VLAN segmentation strategies that keep out-of-band access isolated and secure. For teams planning larger infrastructure deployments, pairing the IPIQ with a UPS solution ensures the management plane stays powered through grid events — the exact scenario where remote console access matters most.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What hardware does the ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ service plan cover?
A: The ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ is a 2-year Silver-tier service agreement specifically for the Vertiv Avocent ADX IPIQ KVM-over-IP platform. It must be paired with the corresponding IPIQ hardware unit.
Q: What video resolution does the Avocent ADX IPIQ support?
A: The ADX IPIQ supports up to 1920×1200 at 30 Hz with 16-bit color depth, providing full-fidelity remote console sessions suitable for BIOS-level and OS-level management tasks.
Q: How many network ports does the IPIQ unit provide?
A: The IPIQ includes two 10/100 Mb SP connectivity ports, providing dual network paths into the management console for redundancy during network maintenance or failure events.
Q: What local interface ports are available on the ADX IPIQ?
A: The unit provides one VGA port and one USB port for direct local console access when remote connectivity is unavailable.
Q: What is the power requirement for the ADX IPIQ?
A: The ADX IPIQ operates on 5V DC, compatible with standard rack PDU infrastructure without requiring specialty power conditioning.
Q: Is the ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ the same as ADX 2YSLV IPIQ?
A: Yes — ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ (often searched as ADX 2YSLV IPIQ) refers to the same Vertiv Avocent 2-year Silver service plan SKU. Both formats resolve to the identical part number.
The ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ is a service-layer add-on for the Avocent ADX IPIQ platform, and the detail worth flagging is the 1920×1200 @ 30 Hz resolution ceiling — that is a meaningful spec for out-of-band management because it means you can handle modern server UIs, hypervisor consoles, and multi-pane CLI sessions over IP without the compression artifacts that make lower-resolution KVM-over-IP units painful to use during time-sensitive recovery work.
Technical Highlights:
- 1920×1200 @ 30 Hz, 16-bit color: Renders enough pixel density to distinguish similar-looking error codes and read condensed system logs at full resolution — matters when you're triaging a kernel panic remotely at off-hours.
- Dual 10/100 Mb SP ports: Two independent connectivity paths mean a single switch failure or misconfigured VLAN does not strand the management console — the redundancy architecture is appropriate for any environment where the KVM path is the recovery lifeline.
- 5V DC power input: Draws from standard PDU infrastructure without specialty power requirements, keeping rack power budgeting straightforward in dense deployments.
Deployment Considerations:
- The service plan is SKU-specific to the ADX IPIQ hardware — confirm you are matching this 2-year Silver agreement to the correct base unit before ordering; mismatched service SKUs are a common procurement error on multi-platform data center deployments.
- The 10/100 Mb SP ports will not saturate a modern switch uplink, but plan your management VLAN segmentation deliberately — out-of-band traffic should be isolated from production VLANs at the switch level to preserve access integrity during production network incidents.
The ADX-2YSLV-IPIQ is the right service selection for data center environments running the Avocent ADX IPIQ as their primary out-of-band console management path — particularly co-location facilities, remote branch server rooms, or enterprise NOC deployments where a lapsed service agreement on the management plane is a risk the operations team cannot afford to carry.
