32-Port 1U KVM Switch

The Avocent MPU4032-001 is a 1U rackmount KVM switch that manages 32 servers from a single console. It targets data-centre operators and IT administrators who need dense, centralised control over multiple PS/2 or USB host systems. The unit supports a maximum video resolution of 1280 x 1024 on the attached monitor.

Console and cabling checklist

Verify that your console monitor accepts a 15-pin HD-15 video input and can display 1280 x 1024 resolution. Ensure you have 32 RJ-45 cables to link each server's 8-pin keyboard, mouse and video port to the switch rear panel. Confirm the rack provides a standard 1U mounting space and that the front USB 2.0 Type-A ports align with your peripheral needs.

Front-panel USB and monitor ports

The switch includes two front-facing USB 2.0 Type-A ports for attaching a local keyboard, mouse or removable media during maintenance. A single 15-pin HD-15 video output drives the console monitor at up to SXGA resolution. These integrated console connections remove the need for a separate console drawer or external USB hub in the rack.

Questions about this item

Does the MPU4032-001 ship with the 32 RJ-45 server cables or must they be purchased separately?

The unit includes the KVM switch itself; the 32 RJ-45 cables for server connections are not included and must be bought separately.

Should I choose the 32-port model or a smaller version for a rack with 24 servers?

The MPU4032-001 provides exactly 32 ports; if you only need 24 connections today, a smaller switch would save rack space and cost.

Will the 1280 x 1024 maximum resolution look sharp on a modern 24-inch monitor?

The switch outputs up to 1280 x 1024 over the HD-15 console port, so a 24-inch display will show a stretched or pillar-boxed image at that resolution.
