You buy a KVM device like the raritan kxiii. That’s a rack-mount unit that’ll support a bunch of connected devices.

For each connected device you need a dongle, which is what will plug into the display and usb ports of the server.

Correct, the dongles connect via ethernet cables (not ip protocol) to the raritan unit. Then you access the raritan via IP to access the dongle outputs.
