Obtaining an IPKVM

If you would like an IPKVM connected to your system, write the support department. We offer hourly and monthly IP KVM leases and can get you set up within the hour most of the time.

How to use the IP KVM

If you obtained the IP KVM function on your server here are the instructions on logging in in a few simple steps.

Before you begin, make sure you have logged into the customer center.

Step 1

Verify you have the IPKVM enabled for your account. You should see an option under Services if it is in fact enabled.

Figure 2.1 - Where to look for the kvm

The KVM will show up under services like Figure 2.1 shows.

Simply click on the IP KVM icon and proceed to step 2.

Step 2

Now you are inside your IP KVM management page. Usually you will only see one device listed here. If you have more than one you will see each one here.

You would simply click Launch management for access to the KVM.

Step 3

Click on 'Launch management' to be taken to the IP KVM home screen.

Super PXE OS Loader

For standard unmanaged systems (colo is not supported at this time), you may use our Super PXE Loader service free of charge.

PXE means Pre eXecution Environment, it is a way to boot the server off of the network. We use this feature to load operating systems without requiring a CD. The Super PXE Loader supports all major operating systems except for Windows at this time.

When your system boots up, you should be presented with a graphical menu displaying which boot option you'd like. If you do not get a boot menu, please feel free to ask support if the service is available for your system.
