Vertiv Avocent ACS8008MDAC-404 is an 8-port ACS8000 console server for remote access and out-of-band management of IT equipment. This exact model includes dual AC power supplies and a built-in modem, supporting console access where direct in-band management is unavailable.
The ACS8000 platform provides serial access for managing servers and network equipment. Its series specifications include up to 48 RS-232 serial ports, with the first two selectable between RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485. Network connections include two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and two Gigabit fiber SFP ports; eight USB 2.0 Type-A ports support equipment with USB console connections.
Vertiv identifies secure console and power management, server and network management, lab access, and remote facilities as applications for the ACS8000 series. The 8-port configuration suits deployments that need serial console access alongside network and USB management connections.
