The KH1516A KVM switches from ATEN are powerful control units designed for IT environments that demand centralized access to a fleet of computers. With a single PS/2 or USB KVM console—comprising keyboard, monitor, and mouse—you can manage up to 16 servers from one location. Built for scalability, this model can be daisy-chained with up to 31 additional KH1516A units, enabling a network of up to 512 computers under a unified, efficient management interface. This makes it an ideal solution for data centers, server rooms, IT labs, and other mission-critical operations where uptime, quick access, and tidy cabling matter most.

  • 16-port local control from one console: Seamlessly switch among up to 16 connected computers using either the front-panel pushbuttons or keyboard hotkeys, reducing downtime when you need to access a specific host. The KH1516A consolidates management tasks, allowing IT staff to diagnose, maintenance, and configuration from a single, ergonomic vantage point while preserving space and reducing cable clutter.
  • Scalable daisy-chain architecture up to 512 computers: By daisy-chaining up to 31 additional KH1516A switches, administrators can extend control to as many as 512 computers. This scalable approach supports growing data centers, multi-rack deployments, and labs where rapid access to multiple hosts is essential. The result is a centralized management plane that scales with your infrastructure without sacrificing performance or reliability.
  • Flexible console support with PS/2 and USB: The KH1516A supports both PS/2 and USB KVM consoles, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of keyboards and mice. Whether you’re deploying legacy PS/2 devices or modern USB peripherals, the switch provides a smooth, BIOS-friendly experience so you can boot and troubleshoot hosts without driver hurdles.
  • Intuitive switching and clear visibility: Users can switch computers via straightforward front-panel buttons, with prominent LED indicators showing the active host. Keyboard hotkeys offer a fast, hands-free method to toggle between systems, which is particularly valuable during maintenance windows or complex troubleshooting sessions that require rapid host selection.
  • BIOS-level compatibility for reliable startup: The KH1516A employs emulation and signal routing that preserves BIOS-level access, ensuring you can interact with each connected computer during boot and prior to the operating system loading. This makes firmware updates, initial setup, and out-of-band management significantly easier in mixed-OS environments.

How to install ATEN KH1516A KVM Switch

  • Plan and position: Place the KH1516A near the servers it will manage. Ensure there is easy access to the console ports and power supply, with adequate ventilation to prevent overheating during extended operation.
  • Connect the host computers: For each of the 16 hosts, connect the computer’s keyboard, video, and mouse interfaces to the corresponding ports on the KH1516A using standard KVM cables. Match port numbers to each computer to keep track of connections during operation.
  • Attach the console devices: Connect your preferred keyboard and mouse to the PS/2 or USB console ports on the KH1516A. Connect a monitor to the console video output so you can view the active host’s display when switching.
  • Power up and test: Plug in the KH1516A’s power supply (per the product’s power requirements) and power on all connected hosts. Use the front-panel buttons or keyboard hotkeys to verify that each host can be selected and that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse respond correctly at each step.
  • Scale with daisy-chaining: If you plan to expand beyond 16 hosts, connect an additional KH1516A unit via the daisy-chain port using the appropriate cascade cable (or per your installation guide). Power on the chained unit and test cross-switching to ensure seamless control across the larger array of computers.

Exactly what I needed for my bathroom refresh.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches, Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
I bought these floating shelves in the color Rustic Brown to replace a bulky storage shelf that was making my bathroom feel cramped, and they completely transformed the space. The wood finish looks much more expensive than I expected, and once installed they gave the bathroom a clean, modern, spa-like feel without taking up visual space. Installation was straightforward overall. I mounted one screw in the center into a stud and used drywall anchors for the remaining hardware, and the shelves feel very sturdy. They sit flush against the wall and don’t sag or wobble. I especially love how slim they are while still being deep enough to hold everyday bathroom items, decor, candles, skincare, and small baskets. The color worked perfectly with my bathroom vanity and mirror trim, and the floating design instantly made the room look more organized and intentional. Huge upgrade for a small space. Definitely recommend if you want functional storage that also looks elevated and minimalist.

Good Shelves
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 22.5inches
These shelves are really nice quality and look as advertised. The hardware included was great quality, metal drywall anchors and good screws. They were easy to install, and make even/level with each other. My only gripe is the price, but I'm very satisfied with the product overall.

Attractive, easy to install, nicely equipped hardware package.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
These are pretty doggone nice shelves and I appreciate the fact that they are not made of solid particle board. Yes they are made of an engineered product, but they are lightweight and strong…and look better than particle board products and more costly than their actual price. Easy installation system with the bracket…not fussy like some are. An especially thoughtful touch is the variety of hardware that is included. Also a tiny level for use when installing them. What? …So they can be installed correctly? I was pleasantly surprised by this inclusion.
