Reduce Cable Bulk

With server densities continually increasing, cable bulk remains a major concern
for network administrators. The RCS significantly reduces KVM cable volume in
the rack by utilizing the innovative Server Interface Pod (SIP) modules and
single, industry-standard Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. This allows a
higher server density while providing greater airflow and cooling capacity.
KVM Switching Capabilities
The RCS supports SIPs that are powered directly from the target device and
provide Keep Alive functionality when the switch is not powered. The SIPs with
CAT 5 design dramatically reduce cable clutter while providing optimal
resolution and video settings. The built-in memory of the SIPs simplifies
configuration by assigning and retaining unique device names and Electronic ID
(EID) numbers for each attached device.
PS/2 and USB SIPs are available allowing direct KVM connectivity to devices.
The USB2+CAC SIP is also available. The RCS is offered with 8, 16, or 32
Analog Rack Interface (ARI) ports for connecting SIPs. Utilizing the SIP, you
can attach additional switches to expand your RCS system. This flexibility
allows you to add capacity as your data center grows.

Multiplatform Support

The Dell SIPs are available for use with the RCS to support PS/2, USB, USB2,
and USB2+CAC device environments. Using the OBWI in conjunction with
these modules allows you to switch easily across platforms.
