About the Avocent IPIQ IP
KVM device
The IP KVM device converts keyboard,
video and mouse (KVM) from a target
to digital IP data, enabling bi-directional
control of the connected target by a
remote user.
The IP KVM device draws its operating
power from the connected server over
USB.
An external DC power cable option is
available, which can be connected to a
Vertiv 5V DC power supply. Please see
your Vertiv representative for details.
See the Safety and Regulatory
Statements sheet that accompanies
this product for more information.
