| Overview |
| Product Description – PCI Card Switch |
| The Compaq PCI card KVM (keyboard, video and
mouse) switch solution is a low cable density, local access switch that is being offered
in addition to the Compaq legacy switchboxes. The card resides into the PCI slot of the
server with the series of cards connected via slim CAT5 cable. This allows for a KVM
solution that does not take up any room within the rack. One manager card is required
per series and can control up to 63 remote cards. Distances between the management card
and last remote can span up to 360 feet allowing for great flexibility within the data
center. The PCI KVM switch is an ideal solution for those customers with cable management
issues within the rack or for configurations with eight or more servers per rack. This
card-based solution can be used in addition to Compaq switchboxes.

|
| Three kits are available for the PCI card KVM
solution. The PCI KVM Management Card Kit contains 1 manager card, 7 remote card and
applicable cables. The PCI KVM Remote Card Kit contains 4 remote cards and applicable
cables. The Local Access Cable Kit contains manager cables for use with any remote card. |
