8-Port Rack KVM for Server Rooms

The Black Box KV9208A ServSwitch EC lets administrators control eight computers from one keyboard, monitor and mouse console. It fits a standard 1U rack space and supports both PS/2 and USB server connections with a PS/2 or USB console. Cascading allows expansion up to 64 servers.

Plug-and-Play Installation

The switch is designed for plug-and-play operation so servers can be added or removed by simply connecting or disconnecting cables. No software drivers are required for basic switching. Ensure each server cable reaches the rear HD-15 ports and that the console cables match the selected PS/2 or USB interface.

Check Console and Cable Compatibility

Verify that your console keyboard, mouse and monitor use either PS/2 or USB connectors compatible with the front ports. Confirm the maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1440 meets your display requirements. Ensure you have enough HD-15 server cables for all eight ports before ordering.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 1920 x 1440 video output is active after connecting the KV9208A?

The on-screen display menu appears when you press the hot-key sequence, confirming the switch is passing the 1920 x 1440 signal to the monitor.

Which cables and accessories are included with the KV9208A and what must I purchase separately?

The unit ships with a rack-mount kit and power supply; you must buy HD-15 KVM cables for each of the 8 servers and a USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse for the console.

Should I choose a single 8-port KV9208A or cascade multiple units to reach 64 servers?

One KV9208A manages 8 servers; cascade up to eight units in a master-slave configuration to control 64 servers from one console.
