The LINDY Modular KVM Switch Series U8/U16

The U8/16 KVM switch series provides either 8 or 16 KVM server ports supporting both PS/2 and USB

keyboard and mouse connections. This KVM switch series incorporates a modular concept design which

allows for dual console access. The local console port allows direct access whilst a second console

option permits remote access either via remote IP or via a remote Cat.5 extender Unit. This allows

system administrators to access and administer their servers and KVM switches from a remote office

workstation. Optional KVM over IP or Cat.5 access modules may be purchased separately and are

simply installed into the back of a U8/16-Modular KVM Switch.

The U8/16 series KVM switches are compatible with almost any KVM switches using standard VGA,

keyboard and mouse signals. Please note however that compatibility is only provided via the server ports

of the U8/16 series KVM switch and not via the daisy chain ports! The U8/16 is also compatible with

older LINDY P-Series KVM switches. Should you wish to mix U- and P-series KVMs (or other brand

KVMs) then it has to be done via port cascading because daisy chain configuration of mixed U- and P-

series KVMs is not supported.

Package Contents

Cable Requirements

To connect each individual computer to the switch, you will need to purchase special LINDY

the PS/2 version P16 and P-XT/-IP series system connection cables. To connect a USB

computer you have to use the additional PS/2 female to USB male adapter No. 70510.
