Remote Console Mode NOTE: This option is available only on HP ProLiant ws460c Blade Workstations. It is not available on other server blades. The Remote Console Mode option controls whether the system console image is displayed though an embedded video controller or mezzanine graphics adapter. Options include: • User Mode-Video displays through the embedded video controller during POST, but switches to the mezzanine graphics adapter for OS boot to display the Windows desktop. In this mode, the Windows console can only be viewed using remote protocols (for example, using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection). Because the embedded video controller is inactive after the operating system starts, the Windows desktop is not visible on the Local I/O Connector or through iLO. The screen displays a message stating that the blade is in User Mode. • Admin Mode-Video displays through the embedded video controller during POST and OS boot. In this mode, the mezzanine graphics adapter is disabled. In Admin Mode, the boot console and the Windows desktop generated by the embedded video controller can be viewed by using one of the following: ◦ A monitor connected to the Local I/O Connector video signal ◦ The iLO Remote Console by pointing your browser to the iLO IP address ◦ Remote desktop connection • Setup Mode-Video is displayed on the embedded video controller during POST and OS boot. In this mode, the mezzanine graphics adapter is enabled. Setup Mode is similar to Admin Mode, but in Setup Mode, both the embedded video controller and the mezzanine graphics adapter are visible to the Windows operating system. Visibility of the mezzanine graphics adapter enables the Windows operating system to install the mezzanine graphics adapter driver. In Setup Mode, the Windows desktop can be viewed by using: ◦ A monitor connected to the Local I/O Connector video signal ◦ The iLO Remote Console by pointing your browser to the iLO IP address ◦ Remote desktop connection. • Server Mode-System reverts back to server operation, system and NIC ID's match that of a server. In this mode, the embedded video controller generates the boot console during POST and then generates the Windows desktop. The mezzanine graphics adapter is not visible to any Windows operating systems and is not used. In Server Mode, the boot console and the Windows desktop generated by the embedded video controller can be viewed by using: ◦ A monitor connected to the Local I/O Connector video signal ◦ The iLO Remote Console by pointing your browser to the iLO IP address ◦ Remote desktop connection System Options menu 39
