Vertiv Cybex SC900 Secure KVM | Dual Head | 4 Port Universal and DVI-D | NIAP version 4.0 Certified

The Vertiv Cybex SC900 Secure KVM is engineered for security-conscious environments where reliable, efficient control of multiple computers is essential. This dual-head, 4-port universal KVM switch combines robust security with streamlined operation, allowing you to manage up to four host systems from a single console. With NIAP version 4.0 certification, the SC900 delivers government-grade assurance without sacrificing usability, making it an ideal solution for data centers, government facilities, secure labs, and enterprise environments that demand both strong protection and practical performance.

• Security-first design: The SC900 is built around a security-centric architecture and carries NIAP version 4.0 certification, ensuring compliance with rigorous standards for data protection and controlled access. This means isolated, trusted paths between the console and each host, reducing the risk of cross-system data leakage while maintaining seamless console control. The design emphasizes tamper-resistance, secure boot-like integrity checks, and disciplined access controls to support high-security workflows.
• Dual-head video with DVI-D: Each connected computer can support dual-monitor configurations through dedicated DVI-D video paths, enabling expansive desktops, enhanced multitasking, and precise image fidelity for tasks such as design review, data analysis, and complex application workflows. The dual-head capability helps operators compare information side-by-side and execute multi-display operations without compromising security or performance.
• Four-port universal control: With four independent host connections and universal keyboard/mouse support, you can centralize control of multiple systems from a single, secure console. This consolidation reduces equipment clutter in restricted spaces and simplifies administration, while preserving per-host isolation and the ability to switch rapidly between hosts as needed for incident response, QA testing, or cross-system validation.
• Flexible switching and management: The SC900 offers multiple switching methods to fit your security protocol and workflow preferences. Use intuitive front-panel controls, keyboard hotkeys, or an optional on-screen display to identify and switch between hosts quickly. Clear status indicators and configurable hot-key sequences help operators maintain situational awareness during time-critical operations and audits.
• Rugged, tamper-aware hardware: Designed for demanding security environments, the SC900 combines a sturdy enclosure with a focus on preventing data leakage and preserving trusted pathways. Its compact form factor fits securely on secure desks or within cabinet enclosures, while its robust build supports long-term deployment in mission-critical settings where reliability and security are non-negotiable.

how to install Vertiv Cybex SC900 Secure KVM

• Plan your topology: Determine which four computers you will manage and decide on the layout for your console (monitor, keyboard, mouse). Confirm that each host has compatible video and peripheral interfaces for secure integration.
• Connect host computers: Attach each computer’s DVI-D video outputs to the SC900’s four DVI-D input ports. Use high-quality, properly rated DVI-D cables to ensure stable signal delivery and reliable image quality across all displays.
• Attach peripherals to hosts and console: Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the SC900’s universal ports (or to the console connectors if your setup requires it). Ensure peripherals are detected by the connected hosts and that no driver conflicts arise during initial use.
• Connect the console: Link your single console (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) to the SC900’s console connection set. Verify that the console devices are properly recognized by the KVM and ready for switching.
• Power on and configure: Power up the SC900 and the connected hosts. Use the front-panel controls or the designated hot-key sequence to switch between hosts. Confirm that each display is active and that keyboard/mouse input is correctly routed to the selected computer. If available, enable and configure additional security features or access policies per your organizational requirements.
