Avocent ACS800 4-Port Console Server
The Avocent ACS804MEAC-001 is a rack-mountable console server designed to provide secure out-of-band management for serial network infrastructure. It delivers four management ports in a 1U form factor suitable for standard data centre racks. The unit runs on the ACS800 platform with 1000 MB of DDR3 SDRAM to handle concurrent sessions. It targets administrators who require reliable remote access to routers, switches and firewalls.
Network managers needing dual LAN uplinks
This model suits operations teams that manage up to four serial devices and want redundant 10/100/1000Base-T network connections for failover. It is not for environments that require more than two serial ports or those needing higher port density for large-scale deployments. Buyers who want integrated KVM-over-IP or virtual media support should look at a different appliance class. The fixed port count limits expansion without adding another unit.
Two RJ-45 network ports for redundant connectivity
The server includes two 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet interfaces that allow connection to separate management networks for resilience. This dual-LAN design is the primary specification that determines whether the appliance fits a high-availability architecture. If a single management network is sufficient the second port remains available for future segmentation. No other network interface types are present on this device.

Questions about this item
How much heat or fan noise does the ACS800 produce when it runs continuously in a closed rack?
The ACS800 is a rack-mountable console server with two 10/100/1000Base-T network ports and two serial ports; it has no published acoustic or thermal ratings in the supplied data.
What cables or modules must I already have to connect the ACS804MEAC-001 to my serial devices?
The unit provides two serial ports for device attachment; you will need the appropriate serial cables or adapters that match the pin-out of the equipment you are managing.
Can the ACS804MEAC-001 share a rack with legacy gear that only has 10/100 Ethernet?
Yes, its two network ports support 10/100/1000Base-T so they will link at 10 or 100 Mbps with older switches while still offering Gigabit speed to newer ones.
