Diagnostic Adapter
Available for some ProLiant BL servers, the Diagnostic Adapter provides keyboard,
mouse, monitor, and serial connection access to an individual server blade. This
allows you to troubleshoot a specific server blade using the Integrated Administrator
and other server diagnostic functionality. Refer to your server-specific user
documentation for more information.
Diagnostic Station
Available for some ProLiant BL servers, the Diagnostic Station enables you to power
up and communicate with a server blade or interconnect switch outside of the rack
environment. With this functionality, you are able to observe blade LEDs, test NIC
activity, configure a server blade or interconnect switch, load software, and diagnose
server blade or interconnect switch problems using Integrated Lights-Out (iLO).
Refer to the Diagnostic Station installation guide for more information.

configuration and the ROM version. Two versions of Inspect are available, one

server-specific user documentation to determine what type of system you have.
