Notes on using the remote console
Notes on using the remote console are described below.
Software for starting the remote console
The remote console needs to be started by using general-purpose
terminal software. Never use the remote functionality of any external
server management software to start the remote console. If you start the
remote console using the remote functionality of server management
software, the console will not operate correctly.
Simultaneous connections from remote consoles to a single server blade
A server blade can only communicate with one remote console. A single
server blade cannot be connected to multiple remote consoles at the
same time.
Collecting memory dumps
Collection of memory dump files from an operating system running on a
server blade must be performed from the management module. If you
use the remote console, certain key operations cannot be used when
collecting memory dumps from Windows Server 2008.
FD media and USB memory sizes and formats
Although you can connect the server blade to some devices via the
system console, such as FD and USB memory, you cannot format these
devices or media from the server blade. Formatting must be performed
from the operating system of the system console. In addition, FD or USB
memory devices that are remotely connected to the server blade must be
formatted using the following settings:
Remote FD
The media must be a 3.5 inch 2HD disk.
• Capacity: 1.44 MB, 512 bytes/sector
• File system: FAT
• Allocation unit size: Standard allocation size
• Format options: Do not select "Enable Compression" or "Create an
MS-DOS startup disk".
Remote USB memory
The maximum supported capacity is 16 GB.
• File system: FAT32
• Allocation unit size: Standard allocation size
Operation of the server blade when it is disconnected from the remote
console
When the server blade is connected remotely to virtual media, FD, or USB
memory, ensure that the connection between the server blade and the
remote console is not terminated. If the connection with the remote
console is terminated, it might become impossible to read or write the
5-2
