alternative to using the Web-based user interface. The command-line
interface also provides access to the text-console command prompt on each
blade server through a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection.

This document explains how to update and configure BladeCenter
components for Serial over LAN (SOL) operation. The SOL connection
provides access to the text-console command prompt on each blade server,
enabling the blade servers to be managed from a remote location.
