KVM features
The PowerEdge MX7000 supports Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) which provides access to the servers via the management modules.
KVM functionality
The keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) solution from Dell includes an LED screen, a keyboard, and a touch pad mouse, all contained in a
space-saving 1U package. The KVM provides access to the servers via the management modules. The management module receives the
keyboard/mouse events and redirects the input to the virtual USB keyboard/mouse to the compute sled iDRAC. The management module
automatically redirects the chassis console output to the front panel display port.
The KVM accessibility keys are:
• Open the OSD menu - Press the PrintScreen key twice to enable the On Screen Display (OSD).
• Navigation - Use the Up or Down arrow keys to scroll through the list of available sled.
• Access a sled - Press the Enter key to select a sled.
• Exit a sled - Press the Escape key to exit the OSD/sled selection menu.
KVM supported ports
