Avocent MPU2016DAC400 16-Port KVM Switch

SKU CH-3TTF-WKX79 MPN MPU2016DAC400

A 16-port KVM-over-IP appliance giving two remote and one local user secure out-of-band access to servers and network gear

  • 16 ports enable direct KVM control of multiple servers
  • 2 IP users plus 1 local user share remote access
  • Out-of-band connection reaches hardware when OS is down
  • Faster diagnosis cuts downtime and meets SLAs
  • Fourth-generation appliance unifies KVM USB and serial management

MergePoint Unity 16-port appliance

The Vertiv Avocent MergePoint Unity MPU2016DAC400 is a 16-port KVM over IP appliance designed for data-centre and server-room environments. It consolidates keyboard, video, mouse and serial access into a single secure platform. Two remote IP users and one local user can manage attached targets simultaneously. The fourth-generation architecture focuses on out-of-band availability when in-band networks are down.

IT teams needing consolidated remote control

This switch suits administrators who require simultaneous multi-user access to 16 servers from anywhere on the network. It fits rack deployments where serial-console reach is as important as KVM. Operators looking for a simple desktop KVM with fewer ports or without IP capability should consider a different form factor. Buyers who need integrated power switching or virtual-media licensing beyond the base feature set will need a separate solution.

16 target ports with dual IP access

The defining specification is the 16-port capacity combined with two independent IP sessions and a local port. This port count determines how many servers can be managed from one appliance without cascading. Match the 16-port limit to your current rack density and planned growth before committing.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 16 server ports on the MPU2016DAC400, and which step is commonly missed?

Attach each server using the appropriate KVM cables to the 16 rear ports, then configure network settings for the two IP user ports before enabling remote access; the step often missed is setting up IP user accounts and permissions first.

What maintenance or replacement will the MPU2016DAC400 need over time?

The unit has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the entire appliance if hardware fails, and keep firmware updated through the management interface to maintain compatibility with connected servers.

What limit appears first when the MPU2016DAC400 runs under sustained load?

Only two simultaneous IP user sessions are supported, so concurrent remote access is the first bottleneck during heavy administrative use.
