Connecting Local I/O Devices
Directly Accessing a Server Blade with Local Media Devices
Use the following setup to configure a server blade or load software updates or
patches using a CD-ROM such as the SmartStart CD or a floppy drive:
CAUTION: Disconnect the local I/O cable when not in use. The port and connector
do not provide a permanent connection. Rear iLO connector performance degrades
when the local I/O cable is in use, even when the iLO connector on the cable is not in
use.
1. Connect the local I/O cable to the server blade (1).
2. Connect a monitor to the video connector (2).
3. Connect a USB hub to one USB connector (3).
