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 front-panel power button is disabled by default. It can re-enabled through Cisco UCS Manager. After it's
enabled, 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 Connection

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
