Control eight systems from one console

The SV831DVIU is a 1U rackmount KVM switch that lets a single keyboard, mouse and monitor manage eight USB-connected computers with DVI or HDMI video. It targets administrators who need local, driver-free access to multiple servers or workstations in a rack environment. No host-side software is required, so the switch works across operating systems immediately.

Rackmount steel chassis with front-panel switching

The unit fits a standard 1U space and provides eight DVI-I and eight USB-B ports for computer connections, plus one DVI-I and two USB-A ports for the shared console. Front push-buttons and hot-key commands give instant port selection, while LEDs show power and active-link status for each channel. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 40°C and humidity tolerance reaches 80% RH, suiting typical data-centre conditions.

Cables and brackets included for immediate install

The package supplies three region-specific power cords, a full set of rack-mount brackets and a printed instruction manual. With these items the switch can be powered and secured in a cabinet without additional purchases, reducing deployment time for lab, co-location or manufacturing-line installations.

Questions about this item

What DVI resolution does the SV831DVIU support at its maximum?

The switch handles DVI and HDMI video up to 1920 x 1200, so a single console can drive any connected system at that resolution without scaling artefacts.

What rack space and brackets does the 1U chassis require?

The unit measures 1.73 x 7.09 x 17.24 in and ships with a set of rack-mount brackets, fitting a standard 1U slot in a 19-inch cabinet.

How do you switch between the eight connected PCs and which step is often missed?

Use the front push-buttons or hot-key sequences; the step users forget is attaching all eight USB-B cables so keyboard and mouse signals reach every port.
