The HP Console Switch, part number J1497A, is an 8-port KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch designed for managing multiple systems from a single console. This desktop solution offers the ability to control up to 8 different servers efficiently through a central setup. It is ideal for IT environments that require effective management of multiple devices while reducing cable clutter and optimising space.
The switch features PS/2 and USB connectivity, providing compatibility with a wide range of legacy and current systems. The flexibility in connection types ensures that both older server models and new machines can be controlled without needing multiple KVM switches. Additionally, this unit supports multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX-based systems, making it versatile for cross-platform management.
An integrated Hot-Plug functionality allows you to add or remove servers without the need to power down the entire system, ensuring minimal disruption to critical operations. For environments where security is a concern, this switch also offers password protection to help safeguard connected devices from unauthorised access, enhancing overall system security.
Another notable feature is the compact desktop design of the HP Console Switch, which ensures that minimal rack or desk space is used, making it ideal for both small and large-scale data centres. The device also comes with video resolution support of up to 1600x1200, ensuring clear and crisp visual output when managing several machines.
