Using the local I/O cable
The local I/O cable enables the user to perform server blade administration, configuration, and
diagnostic procedures in two ways:
• Connecting locally to the server blade iLO interface
• Connecting video and USB devices directly to the server blade
Local administration using iLO
To connect locally to iLO with the local I/O cable, you must have the following:
• A client device with a 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45 connector
• A network cable with RJ-45 connectors
To connect to iLO:
CAUTION: Do not connect the local I/O cable to a hub when connecting to iLO. All server blades have the
same IP address through the I/O port. Multiples on a hub make the server blades indistinguishable on the
network.
1. Use the RJ-45 network cable to connect the local client device to the local I/O cable.
