1.1Features and Benefits

The Fujitsu Siemens BX600 Digital KVM Switch is integrated in your Fujitsu Siemens BX600 blade chassis. It allows you to manage many server modules through a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. In addition, through virtual media, you can control your remote servers as if you were physically present.

You can also connect cables from the BX600 Digital KVM Switch to a KVM appliance such as the Fujitsu Siemens s3-1621 Console Switch. This capability allows you to create large combinations of servers and switches that you can manage from a common access point or over your IP network.
