pack (RDP) for software installation and deployment from a centralized deployment console. Local
console and I/O connections are available through diagnostic and local I/O cables.

connector is used to access the iLO of a server blade by connecting a client device directly to the
server blade.
Local I/O cable—A local I/O cable can be used with server blade models that have an I/O cable
icon next to the I/O port on the front of the server blade. The I/O connector provides ports for
video, up to two USB devices, kernel debug, serial, and iLO Ethernet connectivity.
