- Server Interface Pods The Dell KVM 1082DS is compatible with all available SIPs, including USB 2.0 with virtual media/smart card support for servers and True Serial for accessing serial devices using Telnet/SSH.
- Easy installation Enjoy tool-less installation for 0U and 1U rack space with the Dell ReadyRails mounting interface. The device can mount in the front or back of the rack and comes with a blanking panel.
- Peace of mind The Dell KVM 1082DS supports Dell and third-party servers and serial devices and includes the technical support and warranty1 service you need to stay up and running.

Maximum Connectivity
The Dell KVM 1082DS has eight analog rack interface (ARI) ports for connecting to SIPs attached to servers or serial devices and two power distribution unit (PDU) ports for monitoring metered or managed PDUs.

- Five SIPs — PS/2, USB, USB2 virtual media, USB2 virtual media + CAC, and serial — are available to address a variety of connectivity needs for servers and serial devices.
- One SIP can replace a bulky keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) cable by converting the signals and driving them up to 50 feet through a single CAT 5 cable. The SIP cable draws power from the server, and it is designed to keep the server working properly even if the Dell KVM connection goes down

Easy to Manage
Manage your data center using the Dell RCS software or the on-board Web interface (OBWI).

- The RCS software is a cross-platform management application that enables you to view and control the Dell KVM and all attached servers. It provides secure switch-based authentication, data transfers and username/password storage.
- The OBWI provides similar management functions as the RCS software. It is launched directly from the switch through a Web browser, and any servers connected to the RCS are automatically detected. The OBWI also supports LDAP authentication, which enables permission for multiple RCSs to be managed through a single interface.

The Dell KVM comes ready to use with Dell RCS software and is compatible with Avocent® DSView® 3 management software.
