The Tripp Lite by Eaton NetDirector 8-Port 1U Rack-Mount IP KVM Switch (B022-U08-IP) is the ultimate solution for centralized, secure, and scalable management of up to eight servers from a single KVM console. Engineered for demanding data centers, server rooms, and mixed-OS environments, this 8-port KVM over IP switch delivers fast, BIOS-level control of connected systems over a secure network. Ideal for IT administrators who value efficiency, redundancy, and precise access control, the NetDirector B022-U08-IP consolidates multiple host connections into one easily managed interface, reducing downtime and enabling rapid problem resolution from anywhere on the network.

  • Centralized, remote control of up to eight computers: Manage eight servers or workstations from a single KVM console. The IP-enabled design lets administrators access each host remotely, perform maintenance, install updates, and troubleshoot without being physically present at the rack. This capability streamlines IT workflows, shortens mean time to recovery, and minimizes on-site visits, which is especially beneficial for distributed teams and multi-rack environments.
  • 1U rack-mount form factor for space-efficient deployment: The compact 1U chassis is designed to fit in standard 19-inch racks, maximizing data-center density while keeping cables organized and accessible. Its front-panel layout supports quick local connection and troubleshooting, while the rear-rail compatibility simplifies mounting in existing rack setups. This combination of form factor and accessibility makes it ideal for growing data centers, edge deployments, and labs that require a scalable KVM solution without sacrificing space.
  • KVM over IP for secure, BIOS-level access: Beyond basic remote console control, NetDirector provides IP-based KVM access that reaches the BIOS/POST level of the connected hosts. Administrators can perform system boot, manage POST sequences, and address issues before the operating system loads, ensuring rapid diagnosis and remediation of hardware or firmware problems. Remote sessions are designed to be reliable and responsive, enabling real-time keyboard, video, and mouse interaction as if you were sitting in front of the server.
  • Cross-platform compatibility and flexible management: The B022-U08-IP supports diverse operating systems and environments, making it suitable for mixed-server setups. Whether your data center runs Windows, Linux, UNIX, or macOS clients, you can seamlessly switch between hosts from the same console. The integrated management interface provides centralized control, session logging, and straightforward configuration, which helps administrators enforce consistent access policies across all connected systems.
  • Easy setup, maintenance, and security-conscious administration: This NetDirector switch emphasizes a straightforward deployment path, reliable operation, and robust administration features. Typical users appreciate quick initial configuration, centralized user accounts, and the ability to define access permissions for different administrators. Regular firmware updates, audit trails, and remote monitoring capabilities help protect critical infrastructure and simplify ongoing maintenance, ensuring the KVM switch remains current with evolving IT needs.

How to Install Tripp Lite NetDirector 8-Port IP KVM Switch

  • Step 1: Prepare your rack space and verify you have a standard 19-inch rack with adequate ventilation. Unpack the NetDirector switch and confirm all components are present, including mounting rails or hardware as provided by the vendor.
  • Step 2: Mount the 1U switch in the rack using the included rails or mounting hardware. Ensure there is enough clearance for cable management and airflow to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
  • Step 3: Connect the eight KVM host cables to the corresponding ports on the back of the switch, ensuring stable, labeled connections to each server or workstation. Use properly rated cables to minimize connectivity issues and signal degradation.
  • Step 4: Power the unit and connect the switch to your network via an Ethernet cable. If required, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to establish initial network connectivity and prepare for web-based configuration.
  • Step 5: Access the web-based management interface using a computer on the same network. Log in with the default administrator credentials, then configure the IP address, hostname, user accounts, access permissions, and any alerting or logging preferences. Save changes and verify each connected host is recognized in the management console.
  • Step 6: Test local and remote access by launching a console session to each host. Confirm keyboard/mouse input and video are transmitted correctly and that BIOS-level commands can be issued. Implement any required security measures, such as setting strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication if available, and restricting management access to authorized IP ranges.

Good addition to my jig collection!!!
Size: 9 Holes
It works great! Would be better if it had a Brad style drill bit instead of the ones that came with it.

Drill bits not sharp
Size: 9 Holes
Just used the shelf pin hole jig for the first time. Seams to be a decent product. The failure with this product is the all too Repetitive China Factor. As everything they make to be sold in America has that inherent built-in factor for failure. It starts with the drill bit. Not sharp at all wich causes you to add more pressure than is needed, which causes the depth collar to slide on the drill bit, because it is made of cheap metal. Be very careful. After about 8-10 holes check your depth.

Great Value, Compact, & Reliable Mous
Color: Blue, Style: 1-Pack
The Amazon Basics 2.4Ghz mouse works well right out of the box. I really appreciate its compact size, as it doesn’t take up much space on a mouse pad or flat surface—great if you’re working in a limited area. Its ergonomic design also feels comfortable under the hand. Overall, I think it offers good value for the money, and it’s very easy to set up and use. So far, the battery life has been solid—I’ve used it for three months and it’s still going strong. I put in Amazon Basics battery in this mouse, and surprisingly it lasting a long time.
