Server Interface Module for KVM Control

The Avocent DSRIQ-PS2 is a server interface module designed for KVM-over-IP deployments. It connects a target server to a KVM switch or console using PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces. This new cable module enables remote BIOS-level access and server management. IT administrators use it to control rack-mounted servers from a central location.

Suited for PS/2 KVM integrations

This module suits administrators managing legacy or current servers equipped with PS/2 ports who need reliable KVM connectivity. It is not for environments that require USB or serial-only server connections. Buyers needing multi-platform USB support or virtual media capabilities should look at alternative interface modules. The PS/2 interface limits use to compatible hardware ports.

Verify server port compatibility first

Before ordering, confirm the target server provides PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports for this module. Check that your KVM switch or console supports the specific Avocent DSRIQ interface standard. Ensure cable routing allows for the module's connection without strain on the server ports. No other system requirements are detailed in the specifications.
