Configuring and Deploying Server Blades
Connecting the Diagnostic Cable or the I/O Cable
To connect to iLO using either the diagnostic cable or the I/O cable, you must have
the following:
•
A client PC with a 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45 connector
•
A network cable with RJ-45 connectors
To connect to iLO:
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the diagnostic cable or the I/O cable to a hub when using an IP
address to connect to iLO. All server blades have the same IP address through the diagnostic
or I/O port. Multiple server blades on a hub make the server blades indistinguishable on the
network.
NOTE: Connecting the diagnostic cable to the diagnostic port or the I/O cable to the I/O port
automatically disables the iLO connection on the rear of the server blade when the connection
to the front port is active.
1. Connect one end of the RJ-45 network cable to the diagnostic cable (1) or the I/O
cable, depending on the server blade.
2. Connect the other end of the network cable to the 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45
connector on the client PC (2).
