Terminal Server -- the only device with a real interactive shell built in, rather than borrowing console access through a KVM. Every other device's terminal diagnostics ultimately run through this one (or a KVM console) somewhere in the rack.
Low power draw (8W typical), unglamorous, indispensable -- it doesn't do networking, storage, or compute in its own right, it's purely the shell endpoint.
Nothing about its spec sheet is exciting (no special stats template, modest 150W ceiling) because its value is entirely in what commands it lets you run, not in throughput or capacity numbers.
This is where scripting/cron work happens: `write`/`append` to build a script, `cron` to schedule it, and the full command set from `help` all execute in the context of whichever terminal (this device or a KVM) you're driving.
Tip: if you only ever need diagnostics on a handful of devices, a KVM console covers the same commands for less rack space and power -- rack a dedicated Terminal Server once you're actually writing and scheduling scripts, not just running one-off commands.
Takes the Redundant PSU upgrade ($1800, Inspector → Upgrades): it adds a second power input, PSU2. Wire PSU2 to a DIFFERENT PDU or UPS than PSU1 and this device keeps running when either one dies. Two feeds from the SAME PDU protects nothing -- the redundancy panel simulates that PDU failing and watches the device fail with it regardless of cable count. The spare idles at zero draw, so it costs nothing extra on the power bill. See Redundancy & Failover.
