KVM over IP or have someone onsite who is at least able to follow
instructions and trusted eg datacenter personel(Some offer a "helping hands"
type of program).  KVM over IP is much preferred.  Your KVM should be
plugged into a power strip capable of remote management in case it flakes
out(the ones I've used all do occasionally) so can be power cycled.
