Overview
KVM0108A and KVM0116A KVM Switches
The KVM switches allow administrators to access and control multiple servers from a single PS/2 or
USB KMM (keyboard, monitor, and mouse) console. There is no software to configure.
An auto-sensing function recognizes the position of each station on the installation, eliminating
the need to manually set the position, and a front panel LED displays each station's position.
Updates are available at www.apc.com. The Firmware Upgrade function performs installation.
