Remote access to the serial port
IT administrators can enable remote access to the serial port in two different ways:
1. Through the HP Serial Console Servers software, which allows serial devices to be accessed
remotely through an IP network, or
2. Through the HP IP Console with the Serial Interface Adapter.
NOTE: HP Serial Console Servers and HP IT Console with Serial Interface
Adapter can also be used for remote access to other devices with a serial
port. For additional information about HP Serial Console Servers and HP
Serial Interface Adapter:

Efficient cabling
The HP BladeSystem p-Class 1U power enclosure uses a well-organized cabling system to connect to
the server blade enclosure and any attached Power Distribution Units (PDUs). The 1U power enclosure
provides a direct power connection to the server blade enclosure through two dedicated DC power
cables (Figure 4).
Figure 4. The 1U power enclosure power cables connected to the server blade enclosure
Each server blade enclosure is rated to support up to 6,000 W (3,000 W per side and thus 3,000
W per cable). The individual DC power cables are sized to support the worst-case power tolerances.
At the lowest possible power supply voltage of -48.8 V, the maximum rated sustained output current
would be 61.5 A per side and per cable.
