It enables you to manage servers and IT equipment from a local console, offering a reliable method for initial setup, troubleshooting, or direct hardware interaction. This adapter is suited for environments where direct console access is a requirement, such as data center racks or server rooms, ensuring you can interact with hardware even when network connectivity is unavailable. The ADX-4YSLV-IPIQ model specifically provides VGA and USB connectivity for video and peripheral input.

It connects to the switch's SP (Serial Port) or dedicated KVM ports, allowing a single user to access multiple connected devices. It is compatible with systems requiring VGA video output and USB keyboard/mouse input. Specific compatibility extends to the Vertiv Avocent ADX platform, facilitating a unified management solution for your IT hardware.

The adapter requires a 5V power source, typically provided by the connected KVM switch or appliance. It features two 10/100 Mbps SP connectivity ports for network management of the KVM switch itself, a VGA port for video output, and a USB port for keyboard and mouse input. The maximum supported video resolution is 1900 x 1200 at 30 Hz with 16-bit color depth, ensuring clear display of server BIOS and operating system interfaces.
