Product Identity

The Avocent ACS8016SAC-400 is a 16-port device server built for remote infrastructure management. It provides secure, out-of-band access to serial console ports on network gear, servers and industrial equipment. A dual-core ARM processor and 1 GB of DDR3 memory run automation scripts and zero-touch provisioning workflows. The unit ships new with a single AC power supply.

Target Fit

This console server suits data-centre teams that need automated failover to cellular links and broad Rack PDU support from Vertiv, APC, Raritan, ServerTech and Eaton. It also fits environments that require environmental sensor monitoring through a dedicated port. Buyers who need redundant power inputs or Power over Ethernet on the network ports should look at other models.

Deciding Specification

The sixteen serial ports define the maximum number of devices you can manage directly from this appliance. Each port connects to a target system console for remote troubleshooting and configuration. Verify that the port count matches your current rack layout and any planned expansion before purchase.
