HPE Q1P54A

1 × 1 × 8 G4 Rack‑Mountable KVM IP Console Switch (8 Ports)

The HPE Q1P54A (1 × 1 × 8 G4) is an 8‑port rack-mount IP KVM console switch designed to enable both local and remote accessto up to eight servers via VGA/USB. Supporting one local console and one remote user simultaneously, it provides remote management via browser-based On‑Board Web Interface (OBWI) or client software. Ideal for data centers, remote sites, or hybrid environments, this switch allows administrators to perform BIOS-level control, virtual media installation, and server resets—even when the OS is down or unreachable

Features

Built for enterprise infrastructure, the Q1P54A provides secure remote and local management using standard IP networks. It supports virtual media mapping (CD/DVD/USB drives or ISO files), tiering up to two levels (enabling control of up to 256 servers), and seamless switching between remote sessions and HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) access. The switch supports AES/SSL encryption, two-factor authentication including CAC, LDAP/AD integration, keyboard/video/mouse redirection at resolutions up to 1600×1200 @60 Hz, and flexible installation options—including mounting behind 1U LCD consoles or in-conventional rack space.

Advanced Options

Engineered for consistent, high-availability console access, the Q1P54A KVM IP switch maintains connectivity even during OS or firmware outages. Its chassis-grade design supports redundant power backplanes in rack applications. Virtual media features enable remote boot or image mapping without physical presence.
