1. Will my servers crash if power to my NTI KVM switch is lost? If the power failure affects the outlet for the KVM switch only (not the computers), any SUNs attached to the switch should not crash. It is best to have the KVM switch, as well as all CPUs, attached to a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for protection during a power failure. 2. How can I protect multiple user KVM switches attached to my mission-critical servers? NTI's Dual-Redundant Power Supply Option gives you one "back up" supply for each of the switch's voltage levels and instantly replaces lost power in case of a failure. This option will allow you to hot-swap individual plug-in power supplies from the chassis without interfering with switch operation. Used in such critical installations as: |
