Accessing a server blade with local KVM

1. Connect the local I/O cable to the server blade.
CAUTION: Before disconnecting the local I/O cable, observe
the following guidelines:
• Completely log out of the current RILOE session before
disconnecting from the RILOE port. Do not remove the local I/O
cable when the UID LED is flashing.
• Always squeeze the locking buttons on the side of the server blade
connector before disconnecting from the I/O port. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the equipment.
CAUTION: Disconnect the local I/O cable when not in use.
The port and connector do not provide a permanent connection. Rear
RILOE connector performance degrades when the local I/O cable is
connected, even if the RILOE connector on the cable is not in use.
NOTE: For this configuration, a USB hub is not necessary. To connect
additional devices, use a USB hub.
