Remote console

The remote console can control server blades. Use the remote console to
install an OS on a server blade or set an UEFI environment. In addition, you
can use the remote console to create virtual media accessed from server
blades.
• You can remotely operate the windows of the OS or of the EFI running on
a server blade. You can use the keyboard or mouse of the system console
to operate in the UEFI window or OS window displayed in the remote
console.
• From the remote console, you can remotely power on or power off server
blades or switch modules. You can also reset the power of server blades.
• The remote console provides virtual media functionality that can be used
to access a FD drive, CD or DVD drive, or the USB memory of the system
console. You can use the virtual media functionality to install an OS or
applications onto a server blade.
Note: If the system console OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 and you want to
access a physical drive of the system console, use the built-in user account to
log in to the remote console. If you use a different user account to log in, you
cannot access the physical drive. Note that all user accounts can be used to
access a virtual image file.

LCD touch console

The LCD touch console is hardware whose main body is equipped with an LCD
touch panel. The LCD touch console can display system statuses or failed
parts, and can be used to set up the system unit without using the system
console. This console is suitable for specifying settings when installing a
system, because you can set up a system unit without needing to set up a
network. To use the LCD touch console, connect it to the USB port of the
management module on the front surface of the server chassis.
