RE: Desktop HMC and KVM

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We've decided to KVM our HMC with some other servers on an existing KVM
switch and not buy the IBM display along with the HMC.  There's no specific
reason to buy the IBM provided HMC keyboard and mouse spec'd with the HMC
for $182 either, right?  I'm guessing there's nothing special about them...

Desktop HMC is a PC with a fancy machine type.  KVM it up.  I believe
the KB and mouse are both USB.

Subject: Desktop HMC and KVM

Is there any reason not to use an existing KVM switch with a desktop HMC
instead of buying a display specifically for the HMC?  Probably not...
right?
