16-port KVM over IP for data centres
The Avocent DSR1020-001 is a 16-port KVM over IP switch that gives BIOS-level control of servers and serial-based devices. It supports a maximum video resolution of 1280 x 1024 across VGA, SVGA and Multi-Sync monitors. The unit operates in temperatures from 0ºC to 40ºC and weighs 7.3 lb without cables. It is built for administrators who need remote access to multiple systems from a single console.
Rackmount chassis with mixed console ports
The 1U-high chassis measures 1.72" in height, 17" in width and 10.98" in depth for standard rack installation. Server connections use sixteen RJ-45 ports while the local console provides a VGA HD-15 port plus PS/2 keyboard and mouse mini-DIN connectors. A single RJ-45 remote user port enables IP-based access and a USB port allows connection to external media or peripherals. External modem support is included for out-of-band management when the network is unavailable.
Check server cabling and console requirements
Verify that each target server can connect through an RJ-45 KVM dongle or cable compatible with the DSR1020-001. Confirm that the local console monitor accepts a 15-pin D-Sub VGA signal at 1280 x 1024 resolution. Ensure PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports are available if you plan to use the local console directly. The remote IP session requires a network path to the switch and a Java-capable browser or viewer. Buyers needing digital video inputs such as DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort cannot use this model.
