Power Button

Each blade has its own power button so that individual blade units within the enclosure
may be turned on or off independently of the others. Press the power button (#1) to turn
on the blade server. The power LED (#3) will turn green. To turn off, press and hold the
power button for >4 seconds and the power LED will turn orange.

KVM Button

KVM stands for Keyboard/Video/Mouse. With KVM, a user can control multiple blades
with a single keyboard/video/mouse setup. Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor
to the USB and VGA connectors on the CMM module, then push the KVM button on the
control panel of the blade module you wish to access.

system's configuration) automatically turns on and picks up the system load to provide
uninterrupted operation. The failed power supply should be replaced with a new one as
soon as possible.

KVM Connector

Alternatively, you may connect a KVM cable (CBL-0218L, with a keyboard/video/mouse
attached) to the KVM connector (#7) of the blade you wish to access. To switch to
another blade, disconnect the cable then reconnect it to the new blade.
See the Web-based Management Utility User's Manual on your SuperBlade system
CD-ROM for further details on using the KVM function remotely.
