Buttons
The Reset button is recessed in the front panel of the server. You can press the button with the tip of a paper
clip or a similar item. Hold the button down for five seconds, and then release it to restart the server if other
methods of restarting do not work.
The locator function for an individual server may get turned on or off by pressing the locator button/LED.
The power button allows you to manually take a server temporarily out of service but leave it in a state where
it can be restarted quickly. If the desired power state for a service profile associated with a blade server is set
to "off," using the power button or Cisco UCS Manager to reset the server will cause the desired power state
of the server to become out of sync with the actual power state and the server may unexpectedly shut down
at a later time. To safely reboot a server from a power-down state, use the Boot Server action in Cisco UCS
Manager.

Local Console Connector

The local console connector allows a direct connection to a blade server to allow operating system installation
and other management tasks to be done directly rather than remotely. The port uses the KVM dongle cable
that provides a connection into a Cisco UCS blade server; it has a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector
for a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. With this cable, you can create a direct connection
to the operating system and the BIOS running on a blade server. A KVM cable ships standard with each blade
chassis accessory kit.
