AF620A is the HPE 1x1Ex8 KVM IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media CAC Software. It has eight target device ports and works with IP Viewer software to reach attached servers running different operating systems from a remote workstation. Virtual media maps a removable drive or an ISO image to an attached server for installations and upgrades, and Common Access Card (CAC) support passes smart card data from the user station to the server.
Switches can be tiered, which lets one console reach up to 1024 servers across two tiers. The unit takes 1U (1.75 in) of rack space, or it can be mounted in the side rails or behind the HPE 1U Rackmount Keyboard or the LCD8500 console. Its connections are a local VGA port, local USB ports, two LAN ports, a tiering chain port, an RJ-45 serial setup port and power connectors A and B. Remote sessions are encrypted with 128-bit SSL, AES, DES or DES3, and Active Directory integration over LDAP is standard.
Virtual media needs a Virtual Media Interface Adapter on each server, such as the PS2/USB adapter AF624A or the USB adapter AF629A, and the Serial Interface G2 adapter AF625A connects the RS-232 management port of a server. The larger models in the family are the 2x1Ex16 AF621A and the 4x1Ex32 AF622A. All HPE ProLiant servers are supported, and AF620A is also an option for the ProLiant DL380 Gen9, DL380p Gen8 and ML350 Gen9.
More console switches and rack accessories are in HPE cables, kits and other parts.
