HP BladeSystem p-Class rack-centralized (3U) power solutions

Figure 5. Power information for the entire HP BladeSystem infrastructure is available through the iLO management
processor on any installed server blade.
For diagnostic purposes only, power information is also available by using the serial port on the back
of the power management module in each power enclosure. Users can hook up a standard null
modem cable to connect a laptop or other management computer to the serial port and access the
information using a terminal emulator program. Data delivered through this port is not generally
delivered to the management infrastructure.
IT administrators can enable remote access to the serial port in two different ways. The HP Serial
Console Server or the HP IP Console Switch with the Serial Interface Adapter allows remote access to
serial devices via an IP network. HP Serial Console Server and HP IP Console Switch with Serial
Interface Adapter can also be used for remote access to other devices with a serial port.
