Troubleshoot and control systems at BIOS level without draining laptop battery. Review: Easy to use - This is a great product for data centers and the like. Very easy to use just install the and your away. I would suggest getting a small vga extender to allow the adapter a bit more room so it can be placed on top of servers etc to reduce strain on the server vga connector. Review: Absolutely invaluable if you work on PC's professionally. Saves ... - Absolutely invaluable if you work on PC's professionally. Saves carrying (or finding) a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Turns your laptop into all three. Very handy for instance for updating BIOS settings PC in one window, settings in another. I'm just waiting for them to come up with a wireless version, although I guess that would be easier to leave at a customer site! This is my second one so a word of caution - don't leave the USB lead plugged in while carrying around in your kit. The socket came of the board in the first one. ## Features - LAPTOP TO SERVER: USB crash cart adapter connects your laptop to a headless system, turning your laptop into a portable console for rack servers in your server room, PCs, ATMs, kiosks, etc - EFFICIENT TROUBLESHOOTING: Easily log server activity using the crash cart adapter software; For optimal performance, be sure to install the latest drivers; Note: Please make sure to download the drivers specifically for the NOTECONS01 - BIOS-LEVEL CONTROL: Connect the laptop crash cart adapter to your computer using the included USB cable, then connect the integrated USB and VGA cables to your server for instant BIOS-level control - SELF-POWERED: The KVM adapter is powered by the server-side USB connection, reducing strain on the laptop's battery and eliminating the need for an AC outlet, allowing you to connect to any PC or device with a VGA output port and USB connection - COMPACT DESIGN: This TAA Compliant pocket-sized data center crash cart adapter requires no additional accessories, eliminating the need to carry around a traditional crash cart/trolley when troubleshooting and servicing your systems ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002CLKFTQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 37,696 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 129 in KVM Switches | | Brand Name | StarTech | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC, Server | | Connector Type | VGA, usb 2.0 | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (114) | | External Testing Certification | RoHS | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030835312 | | Input Voltage | 12 Volts | | Item Dimensions | 7.4 x 1.5 centimetres | | Item Type Name | ehf not applicable | | Item Weight | 0.37 Pounds | | Manufacturer | StarTech | | Model Number | NOTECONS01 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Finish Type | Matte | | Specific Uses For Product | Server Racks, Data Centers, ATMs, Kiosks | | UPC | 065030835312 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, PC, Server - **Connector type:** VGA, usb 2.0 - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.4 x 1.5 centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** Server Racks, Data Centers, ATMs, Kiosks ## Images ![StarTech.com Portable Laptop Crash Cart Adapter for Server Management, USB/VGA KVM Console, Windows/Linux/MacOS - TAA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61S-WWoMuPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Great product, but is there any instance where a traditional crash cart would be better than this?** A: I've used this console to install quite a bit of equipment. It's great, because I never know if there will be a crash cart where I'm going. I would say that the only advantage to a crash cart would be that you could leave it attached and unattended without leaving your laptop behind. So, say if you needed a local facilities person to click "finish" for you or something like that, you could leave a crash cart attached. I've never run into a situation where I wish I had a crash cart instead of this console though. I suppose the other advantage to a crash cart is that it comes with it's own table. I've had to sit on the floor a few times with my laptop in a cage where the customer didn't have any furniture. **Q: Does it have a copy paste feature so I can copy text out of the kvm onto my windows laptop?** A: The display is a graphical representation so there is no text recognition. You could theoretically take a screen shot and send to OCR but I'm sure that's more than you'd like to deal with. **Q: I see this does not work with the current mac os, will it work with parallels or vmware?** A: The NOTECONS02 supports up to Mac OS 10.13.x. The limitation with later Mac OS versions is for our older NOTECONS01 model. Nick, StarTech.com Support. **Q: Is this a kvm over usb (like a kvm over ip) where i would be able to view and control a functioning laptop from a desktop** A: The host OS (windows) on system you plug this into (laptop/desktop) is Keyboard Video Mouse to any other system you connect this to. The KVM shows up in an application. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use *by S***Y on 26 June 2013* This is a great product for data centers and the like.
