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 RILOE interface
Connecting video and USB devices directly to the server blade
Local administration using iLO
To connect locally to RILOE 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 RILOE. 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.
