 Digital Visual Interface (DVI-I & DVI-A)
Servers with DVI ports that support DVI-A (analog) and DVI-I (integrated analog and digital) can use
the Raritan ADVI-VGA adapter to convert the DVI port to a standard VGA plug that can be
connected to a KX II CIM’s VGA plug.
Raritan’s ADVI-VGA adapter can be used with any Raritan CIM which has a VGA plug.
Servers with DVI ports that support DVI-I or DVI-D (digital) can use the new D2CIM-DVUSB-DVI.
