This server supports the Smart Access USB feature. The board management controller (BMC) in this server

can accept a USB mass storage device and access the data on it. This feature allows you to use the front-panel

USB device as a medium to transfer data between the BMC and the user without need for network connectivity.

This can be useful, for example, when remote BMC interfaces are not yet available, or are not accessible due

to network misconfiguration.

• This feature has the following requirements:

Installing the Server

• A serial cable connection, which can use either the RJ-45 serial connector on the server rear panel,

or a DB-9 connection when using the KVM cable (Cisco PID N20-BKVM) on the front-panel KVM

console connector.

• Console redirection must be enabled in the server BIOS.

• Terminal type must be set to VT100+ or VTUFT8.

• Serial-over-LAN (SOL) must be disabled (SOL is disabled by default).

You must enter your Cisco IMC credentials to authenticate the connection.

You cannot switch to Cisco IMC CLI if the serial-over-LAN (SOL) feature is

enabled.

• The KVM cable (Cisco PID N20-BKVM) connected to the front panel KVM console connector.

• A USB storage device connected to one of the USB 2.0 connectors on the KVM cable. The USB

device must draw less than 500 mA to avoid disconnect by the current-protection circuit.
