The HPE 708046-001 C7000 OnBoard Administrator Module with KVM Option is a crucial management module designed for HPEBladeSystem C7000 enclosures. This integrated unit combines powerful remote server management via Onboard Administrator tools and built-in KVM capabilities—allowing administrators to access the console, video, keyboard, and mouse of the enclosure and its blade servers from a single interface. This dual-function module simplifies infrastructure control, streamlines maintenance, and bolsters operational flexibility for OnBoard Administrator Module  data centers and enterprise IT environments. 

Features

Built for efficient enclosure management, the module fits directly into the C7000 chassis and provides both system oversight and console access. Administrators benefit from remote visibility, power and thermal controls, firmware updates, port mapping, and event reporting via the Onboard Administrator software. Simultaneously, the KVM OnBoard Administrator Module functionality—comprising VGA, USB (keyboard/mouse), RS-232 serial, and Ethernet management connectors—ensures on-the-ground access even when remote access isn't available. 

Advanced Options

Provisioned with an intuitive web-based interface, the module supports secure user authentication (via RADIUS/TACACS+, SSH) and role-based access, enabling granular administration. It streamlines troubleshooting, improves uptime, and enhances security by centralizing control within the enclosure. Ideal for server racks that demand consolidated management and streamlined access to OnBoard Administrator Module blade servers, this module boosts both operational efficiency and support effectiveness. The HPE708046-001 module is engineered for reliable and resilient data center management. Its dual role—as both remote administrator and KVM switch—eliminates reliance on multiple tools and reduces rack complexity. The hardware delivery is tested thoroughly (as confirmed by vendors like Alta Technologies), ensuring dependable operation.
