Local Console Connection

The local console connector allows a direct connection to a blade server to allow operating system installation

and other management tasks to be done directly rather than remotely. The port uses the KVM dongle cable

that provides a connection into a Cisco UCS blade server; it has a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector

for a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. With this cable, you can create a direct connection

to the operating system and the BIOS running on a blade server. A KVM cable ships standard with each blade

chassis accessory kit.
