- Does it include server interface adapters?
- No. The switch has eight RJ-45 ports, but each server needs its own compatible interface adapter, sold separately.
- Can several admins use it at once?
- Yes. It supports multiple remote sessions over IP, so more than one admin can view and control servers, subject to the configured access rights.
- How do servers connect to it?
- Servers connect through CAT5 cabling to the RJ-45 ports, using HP-compatible interface adapters at the server end.
- Is it rack-mountable?
- Yes. It is a 1U unit designed for a standard 19-inch rack.
- Does it work with non-HP servers?
- It is built around HP's KVM adapter ecosystem. Other servers can work if you use compatible adapters, but check the supported adapter list first.
- Do I need a local monitor at the rack?
- Not for day-to-day use. Administration is done over IP from a browser, though you should confirm local console options for your specific unit.
