The boot console can be viewed either by connecting a monitor to the video output of the Local I/O Connector, or can be viewed over the network using the iLO 2 Ethernet port, as shown in Figure 2-1. • The Windows desktop typically runs on the NVIDIA graphics adapter. • Viewing of the Windows desktop on internally-installed NVIDIA graphics adapter(s) is performed using RGS-there is no video connector on the blade workstation to allow direct viewing of the video from NVIDIA graphics adapter(s) installed internal to the blade workstation. • Operation of the blade workstation ATI video controller and NVIDIA graphics adapter is governed by the BIOS parameter Remote Console Mode, which can be set to the following three modes: 1. Admin Mode 2. User Mode (default setting) 3. Setup Mode The following sections describe how to set Remote Console Mode, and how the setting affects display of the Windows desktop.

Blade workstation video subsystem
15
The key features of the video subsystem are:
•
The blade workstation boot console is always generated by the ATI video controller. The boot console can
be viewed either by connecting a monitor to the video output of the Local I/O Connector, or can be viewed
over the network using the iLO 2 Ethernet port, as shown in Figure 2-1.
•
The Windows desktop typically runs on the NVIDIA graphics adapter.
•
Viewing of the Windows desktop on internally-installed NVIDIA graphics adapter(s) is performed using
RGS—there is no video connector on the blade workstation to allow direct viewing of the video from
NVIDIA graphics adapter(s) installed internal to the blade workstation.
•
Operation of the blade workstation ATI video controller and NVIDIA graphics adapter is governed by the
BIOS parameter
Remote Console Mode
, which can be set to the following three modes:
1.
Admin Mode
2.
User Mode (default setting)
3.
Setup Mode
The following sections describe how to set Remote Console Mode, and how the setting affects display of the
Windows desktop.
NOTE:
Remote Console Mode
is different than the
iLO 2 Remote Console
. Remote Console Mode is a BIOS
setting while iLO 2 Remote Console is a means of viewing blade operation through the iLO 2 network port.
