A server administrator is configuring a new server in a data center in another country. Which of the following technologies should the administrator use to complete this task?

An IP KVM allows an administrator to remotely access and control a server's keyboard, video, and mouse over an IP network. This technology enables full console access, including interaction with the BIOS and initial operating system installation, making it perfect for configuring a new server in a data center in another country without physical presence.

A crash cart is a physical device used for local, direct access to a server and requires physical presence, which is not feasible for a server in another country.

While a 'remote console' is a general term, an IP KVM is the specific technology that provides full KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) capabilities remotely over IP for tasks like server configuration.

A serial connection provides text-based console access, which is limited compared to the full graphical control offered by an IP KVM, especially for tasks like OS installation with graphical interfaces.
