What does KVM stand for?

Throughout this manual the abbreviation KVM is used to refer to the combination of a Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse that is used to access a computer. A KVM console usually consists of a keyboard, monitor and mouse although sometimes only a keyboard and monitor may be used.
