Remote management and console Ethernet connector

Your BladeCenter management module contains one 10/100 Mb Ethernet connector
that provides the remote connection to the network management station on the
network.
Use this port for remote management and remote console.
The network management station, through this connector, can access control
functions running in the management module, the service processor on each blade
server, or within each switch module. However, it cannot use this port to
communicate with application programs running in the blade servers. The network
management station must direct those communications through a network
connected to the external ports in the I/O modules in the BladeCenter unit.
