If you have installed an I/O expansion card on a blade server, communications from the option are routed to I/O-module bays 3 and 4. You can verify which controller on the card is routed to which I/O-module bay by performing the same test, using a controller on the I/O expansion card and a compatible switch module or pass-thru module in switch bay 3 or 4. Command-line interface and serial over LAN The IBM BladeCenter Management Module Command-Line Interface Eserver provides direct access to BladeCenter management functions as an alternative to using the management-module Web interface. Using the command-line interface, you can issue commands to control the power and configuration of the blade server and other components installed in the BladeCenter unit. The command-line interface also provides access to the text-console command prompt for your blade server through a serial over LAN (SOL) connection. See the IBM Eserver BladeCenter Management Module Command-Line Interface User's Guide and the IBM BladeCenter Serial Over LAN Setup Guide for information and Eserver instructions. Chapter 2.
