Blade Servers – Connections Page

Blade Servers that are connected to the switches
display below the KVM switches and PON
devices in the Sidebar.

This section describes accessing and configuring
the blade servers, and associating the blades with
KVM switch ports. By associating a blade server
or blade with a port the servers and blades are
integrated into the Sidebar tree view, and appear
as devices connected to the port.

The Blade Configuration Page

The

Blade Configuration

page is where the

associations between the blade servers and the
KVM switch ports get made. To access this page,
select the blade server or blade then click

Blade

Configuration (

the menu item at the far right of

the menu bar).

For IBM and Dell blade servers, the entire chassis
gets associated with a port, and each blade in the
chassis will appear in the tree as a child port of the
associated port – as in port 08 in the screenshot at
the right.

For HP blade servers, associations are made on a
blade by blade basis. Each blade is associated
with a single port.

To access a blade, click on its port entry in the tree.
