Product overview
The HP 4 x ports rack-mountable KVM Console Switch is supplied under part number J1493A. Remote console over IP has to coexist with the out-of-band management already on the server, and duplicating it is a common waste. Tell us what iLO, iDRAC or IPMI already covers and we will say plainly whether this adds anything.
If the part is wrong for your platform we will say so and suggest the one that is, which is cheaper for both of us than a return.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
J1493A is what is quoted and J1493A is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Checked against existing out-of-band
If iLO, iDRAC or IPMI already covers it we will say so rather than sell you a second path to the same console.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is J1493A genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will J1493A work in my server?
Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it: firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
