HP BladeSystem p-Class Diagnostic Station The HP BladeSystem p-Class Diagnostic Station enables a server blade or interconnect switch to be powered up outside of a server blade enclosure for testing or diagnostic purposes. The diagnostic station contains a power supply and connectors for data transfer between the server blade or interconnect switch and a client device (such as a PC, notebook, or workstation). The client provides the keyboard, video, mouse, and diskette interface and facilitates the use of the iLO remote console. Figure 24.
