Configuring and Deploying Server Blades
3.
Connect the server blade connector to the server blade.
CAUTION: Disconnect the diagnostic cable or the I/O cable from the port when not
in use. The port and connector do not provide permanent connections.
CAUTION: Rear iLO connector performance degrades when the I/O cable or the
diagnostic cable is in use, even when the iLO connector on the cable is not in use.
CAUTION: Always match the I/O cable labeled with the I/O icon to the I/O port also
labeled with the I/O icon. The diagnostic cable and port have no labels. Mismatched
cables prevent proper connection and can cause damage.
Figure 2-4: Connecting either the diagnostic cable (1) or
the I/O cable (2) to the server blade
CAUTION: For the diagnostic cable, the locking button is located on the top of the
server blade connector.
For the I/O cable, the locking buttons are located on the sides of the server blade
connector.
Always be sure to squeeze the locking button on the diagnostic cable before
disconnecting the diagnostic cable from the diagnostic port. Failure to do so can
result in damage to the equipment.
