I think you need to establish exactly what the configuration of these
boxes is & beat the DC people over the head to provide you appropriate
console connectivity. You will almost certainly need some kind of
serial connection for initial configuration at least. Depending on the
machine you then either continue to need a serial connection for the
console, or may be able to set the system controller / LOM to provide
a ssh/telnet connection to the console.

It is unlikely that a PC-style IPKVM will be useful to you: you need a
terminal server to multiplex serial consoles. (Some smaller machines
(and perhaps all the x86/x64 boxes) could be used with a KVM, though
for anything recent you would need one that will do USB keyboard/
mouse, and for older ones you'll want the old Sun keyboard/mouse
connection. I don't think any of your boxes are in this category
though.)

If it has a CD/DVD drive (which I think they do as standard), then
yes, you can.
