Accessing the graphic console using VGA
NOTE: You cannot access the iLO 3 MP using VGA.
This method requires:
• Monitor (VGA connector)
• Keyboard (USB connector)
• Mouse (USB connector)
The graphic console output displays on the monitor screen.
IMPORTANT: The server console output does not display on the console device screen until the
server boots to the UEFI Shell. Start a console session using the RS-232 serial port method to view
console output before booting to the UEFI Shell or to access the iLO 3 MP. See “Configuring the
iLO 3 MP LAN using the RS-232 serial port” (page 49).
To access the graphic console with VGA:
1. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse cables.
a. Connect the monitor VGA cable to the appropriate VGA port on your server.
b. Connect the keyboard USB cable to the appropriate USB port on your server.
c. Connect the mouse USB cable to the appropriate USB port on your server.
2. Power on the server. The UEFI Shell prompt appears.
