I recently purchased a Xyplex (which was purchased by MRV) MaxServer 1620 terminal server for my CCNA lab so I could manage all of the console connections from a single device.. Well, that was the idea at least.

When I received the terminal server, it did not have any memory card installed in it. I contacted the person I purchased the terminal server from and he told me I could boot the device via PXE/TFTP if I had the software for the terminal server. Unfortunatley, the person who sold me the device does not have the software for this device. I can't seem to find a download when I google for it, so I was hoping someone here on SuperUser might have some experience with MRV/Xplex terminal servers and could possibly point me towards a place where i can download the software so I can at least boot the damn thing.

I do plan on buying a memory card for the unit, but if I cannot find the software for the device what is the point? The memory card it uses is this strange PCMCIA 2MB flash memory that costs like $50 for 2-4MB. Yes, I said $50 for 2-4 MEGABYTES.. sigh... enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

    Did you already find this thread.... I don't see much about software but perhaps you'll see something that may take you down this right path otherwise from some of the links and read, etc. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/General/Xyplex-MaxServer-MX-1620-Terminal-Server-boot-issues/td-p/5183921?notmigrated#.Vir9_NKrTGg – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Oct 24 '15 at 03:46
  • https://www.pcliquidations.com/p1473-xyplex-maxserver-20-terminal# you might check out this site with some contact information and see if they sell just the software or disk or whatever it takes to load its OS. Also, I think this is a `MaxServer 20 Terminal Server` rather than your title suggests of `MaxServer 1620 Terminal Server`. Not sure if you've looked on ebay or other selling sites, etc. perhaps you could find another whole device cheap that comes with what you need. Good Luck!! – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Oct 24 '15 at 03:52
