Why do you need a KVM Console for your rack?
- − Local access to each server from the data center floor when using a KVM Console Switch.
- − More convenience and faster access than typical “crash cart” server access solutions.
Why HPE?
- − HPE Support Services purchased for servers and storage extend to our rack and power infrastructure products such as racks, power distribution units, uninterruptible power systems, and KVM console switches.

| Notes: This kit might contain extra hardware. This product is supplied with a C5 to C14 power cord. The C14 is a standard connection for PDUs and UPSs. If another power source is used, a region-specific cord must be purchased separately. HPE constantly strives to improve and develop products that are environmentally friendly. In communicating with our customers, we have discovered that 90% use the C5 to C14 jumper cord and discard the C5 to country specific power cords. In effort to reduce landfill, HPE made a Green decision to remove excess waste from our accessory kit. This resulted in removing multiple power cords included in the product. Please see the HPE LCD8500 1U Console User Guidefor additional information including mounting and installation instructions. | |
