Buttons

The Reset button is just inside the chassis and must be pressed using the tip of a paper clip or a similar item. Hold the button down
for five seconds, and then release it to restart the server if other methods of restarting are not working.
The beaconing function for an individual server may get turned on or off by pressing the combination button and LED.
The power button and LED allows you to manually take a server temporarily out of service but leave it in a state where it can be
restarted quickly. If the desired power state for a service profile associated with a blade server or an integrated rack-mount server is
set to "off", using the power button or Cisco UCS Manager to reset the server will cause the desired power state of the server to
become out of sync with the actual power state and the server may unexpected shutdown at a later time. To safely reboot a server
from a power-down state, use the Boot Server action in Cisco UCS Manager.

Connectors

The console port allows a direct connection to a blade server to allow operating system installation and other management tasks to
be done directly rather than remotely. The port uses the KVM dongle cable (N20-BKVM) which provides a connection into a Cisco
UCS blade server; it has a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector for a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard and mouse.
With this cable, you can create a direct connection to the operating system and the BIOS running on a blade server. A KVM cable
ships standard with each blade chassis accessory kit.
