v Connect a monitor to the video port - Connect the video cable to the video connector on the active management module. v Cable only to the active management module- If the system transfers active status to the standby management module, move the keyboard, video, and mouse cables to the management module that is now active. v Cable to both the active and standby management modules - If you have a second keyboard, monitor, mouse, and Ethernet cable connected to the standby management module, no switching or recabling is required when the system transfers active status to the standby management module. Connecting the management module to the network The management module supports network connection through the remote management and console (Ethernet) connector or a CLI-only connection through the serial connector. You can manage the BladeCenter unit through the graphical-user interface that is provided by the management-module Web interface or through the CLI that you access through a terminal emulator program, a Secure Shell (SSH) server, or the serial connector. All management-module network connections to blade servers that do not support KVM are made through the CLI. You can perform initial configuration of the management module after you connect it to your network; however, because some requirements are imposed by the default management-module settings, it might be easier to perform these setup operations through a temporary connection. You can access the management-module Web interface through a network or through a computer that is connected directly to the management module. To connect to the management-module Web interface, you need the following equipment and information: v A computer with Internet browser capability. To facilitate connections at multiple locations, you can use a notebook computer. v The management-module MAC address (listed on the label on the management module). v For a networked connection to the management module, you need the following equipment: - A standard Ethernet cable - A local Ethernet network port (facility connection) v For direct connection of a computer to the management-module remote management and console (Ethernet) connector, you need an Ethernet cable. Network connections through the serial connector can access only the management-module CLI.

v
Connect a monitor to the video port
- Connect the video cable to the video
connector on the active management module.
v
Cable only to the active management module
- If the system transfers active
status to the standby management module, move the keyboard, video, and
mouse cables to the management module that is now active.
v
Cable to both the active and standby management modules
- If you have a
second keyboard, monitor, mouse, and Ethernet cable connected to the
standby management module, no switching or recabling is required when
the system transfers active status to the standby management module.
Connecting the management module to the network
The management module supports network connection through the remote
management and console (Ethernet) connector or a CLI-only connection
through the serial connector. You can manage the BladeCenter unit through the
graphical-user interface that is provided by the management-module Web
interface or through the CLI that you access through a terminal emulator
program, a Secure Shell (SSH) server, or the serial connector.
All management-module network connections to blade servers that do not
support KVM are made through the CLI. You can perform initial configuration
of the management module after you connect it to your network; however,
because some requirements are imposed by the default management-module
settings, it might be easier to perform these setup operations through a
temporary connection.
You can access the management-module Web interface through a network or
through a computer that is connected directly to the management module. To
connect to the management-module Web interface, you need the following
equipment and information:
v
A computer with Internet browser capability. To facilitate connections at
multiple locations, you can use a notebook computer.
v
The management-module MAC address (listed on the label on the
management module).
v
For a networked connection to the management module, you need the
following equipment:
–
A standard Ethernet cable
–
A local Ethernet network port (facility connection)
v
For direct connection of a computer to the management-module remote
management and console (Ethernet) connector, you need an Ethernet cable.
Network connections through the serial connector can access only the
management-module CLI. See the management-module
