— With USB devices—Connect the local I/O cable to the I/O port on the front
of the server blade. This connection enables you to connect a monitor
through the video connector and various USB devices, such as a USB
keyboard, USB mouse, USB floppy, and/or a USB CD-ROM, directly to the
server.
NOTE: Use of the USB hub is optional as the hub is only required when connecting three
or more USB devices. For example, you may connect a monitor to the video connector
and a USB mouse and USB keyboard to the USB connector.
Network cabling method Use this method to mimic a network environment and
to perform server blade configuration or advanced troubleshooting. In this
method, the client PC is connected to the iLO using a hub/switch and the network
connections of the diagnostic station. The iLO default configuration enables the
server blade to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server.

NOTE: The server blade in the illustrations may look different from the model you are using.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure that the AC power is disconnected
from the diagnostic station when connecting cables to the server blade.
