USB keyboard and mice are supported. If you require KVM support, the 1.5 M USB Conversion Option (UCO) (part number 73P5832) enables the x455 to be attached to one of the Advanced Connectivity Technology (ACT) switches for common management within the rack. This smart cable is plugged into the USB and video ports on the server. It converts KVM signals to CAT5 signals for transmission over a CAT5 cable to either a Remote Console Manager (RCM) or Local Console Manager (LCM). USB servers can be managed on the same set of switches as legacy PS/2-based or C2T-based KVM servers. 1.5 Remote Supervisor Adapter The x454 includes a Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA), which is positioned horizontally in a dedicated PCI-X slot beneath the PCI-X adapter area of the system.
