Vertiv Avocent MergePoint IQ Server Interface Module

The Vertiv Avocent MergePoint IQ Server Interface Module connects to a MergePoint IQ KVM over IP switch using standard CAT5 cable. It provides a VGA video and USB 2.0 interface for direct server connection. One cable is required for each server linked to the MPU. This module enables administrators to manage servers remotely through the KVM switch.

Virtual media and smartcard CAC support

The module allows administrators to use virtual media for remote ISO loads and troubleshooting tasks. It also includes smartcard and CAC authentication support for secure access control. IT teams managing remote server infrastructure with these specific requirements will find this module suitable. Environments that do not require virtual media or CAC authentication do not need this specific interface module.

USB 2.0 high-speed interface

This cable provides a USB 2.0 high-speed interface for the server connection. The USB 2.0 specification determines the data transfer rate available for virtual media operations. Verify that the target server supports USB 2.0 connectivity before deployment. Servers lacking USB 2.0 ports cannot use this module for virtual media functions.
