Using the Diagnostic Cable
To perform some server blade configuration and diagnostic procedures, use the
diagnostic cable that ships with the system. The cable provides a 10/100 Ethernet
RJ-45 connector through which you can access the server blade with the iLO Remote
Console and a client PC. The cable also has a kernel debug connector that requires a
null modem serial cable and enables trained personnel to perform advanced
diagnostic procedures.
Identifying Diagnostic Cable Connectors
Use Figure 2-16 and Table 2-4 to identify diagnostic cable connectors.
