NTI RACKMUX KVM Drawer with NODEMUX Switch

INTRODUCTION

The RACKMUX-V15-8UNV (RACKMUX) is a KVM Drawer with Universal KVM Switch that combines a rackmount 15" TFT/ LCD monitor, keyboard, touchpad mouse, an 8-port Universal KVM switch (NODEMUX) in a space-saving 1RU industrial strength drawer with wrist pads. The RACKMUX is equipped with a built-in switch function, which allows control of up to eight (8) Windows or SUN-enabled CPUs with a single keyboard, touchpad and monitor. When access to a server rack is needed, the drawer can be pulled out and the display lifted up like a notebook computer, revealing the keyboard and touchpad. When the drawer is not in use, the display can be folded forward and down so the 1RU drawer can be pushed into the cabinet easily and smoothly, helping to organize and streamline busy server rooms.

The onboard Universal KVM switch allows access to any Windows or SUN legacy CPUs from one monitor, keyboard and mouse (up to 8 CPUs). These CPUs can be file servers, network managers, etc. Internal microprocessor circuitry allows all CPUs to be booted simultaneously without keyboard error. Port selection is accomplished through On Screen Display (OSD) menus provided for switch control and security administration.
