Remedying a server problem in a room without a local user console means rolling a cart loaded with a keyboard, monitor, mouse, and a bunch of connecting cables for on-the-spot computer access. But with the Black Box USB Laptop Console Crash Cart Adapter, you have a compact and easier way to get immediate, BIOS-level access to your server. Despite its name, there's no actual "cart" involved. In this case, the cart is the laptop that you carry to the server and using the adapter, plug it in to obtain quick server access.

Connect to the video port of any server in trouble to perform an emergency system recovery, carry out routine system maintenance, or do whatever server task you like - just as if you had a full KVM console with a VGA monitor connected to the server itself. On the laptop side, it features a high-speed (480 Mb/s) USB mini type (B) connector with a detachable USB cable for server-to-laptop links. For older PS/2 style keyboards, there is a passive PS/2 to USB adapter included*. The fully hot-pluggable adapter requires no external power, thus making it portable and easy to use.

How it Works

Emulating a USB keyboard and mouse, the USB Laptop Console Crash Cart Adapter and its software enable you to interact with the target server as a window on your laptop.

For server connections, the adapter has built-in VGA video and USB keyboard/mouse connectors. On the laptop side, it features a high-speed (480-Mbps) USB Mini Type B connector with a detachable USB cable for server-to-laptop links. For older PS/2 style keyboards (the adapter doesn't support PS/2 mice), there's a passive PS/2 to USB adapter included. The fully hot-pluggable adapter requires no external power (it gets it all from the connected system or laptop) making it truly portable and easy to use.

Possible applications:

  • Performing maintenance in server rooms without a lot of space, where you can't fit a crash cart or install a KVM console tray in the rack or cabinet.
  • Classrooms where the server or CPUs are stored in the back of the room and you need quick access to diagnose a problem while students are actively working at their computers.
  • Troubleshooting ATMs, kiosks, and retail PoS/PoP systems in stores and other areas heavily trafficked by the public.
  • Configuring digital signage in real-time at the screen, away from the controlling PC (just plug the adapter into the player).
  • Any field application where you need to interact with target computers.
