Where blade_server_number is the two-digit number of the blade server
bay in which the blade server is installed. A blade server that occupies
more than one blade server bay is identified by the lowest bay number
that it occupies.
If there is no response when you press the KVM select button, you can use
the advanced management module web interface to determine whether
local control has been disabled on the blade server. See the IBM BladeCenter
Advanced Management Module: User's Guide for more information.
Notes:
1. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for
the blade server to recognize and use the keyboard and mouse, even if
the keyboard and mouse have PS/2-style connectors.
2. If you install a supported Microsoft Windows operating system on the
blade server while it is not the current owner of the keyboard, video,
and mouse, a delay of up to 1 minute occurs the first time that you
switch the keyboard, video, and mouse to the blade server. All
subsequent switching takes place in the normal KVM switching time
frame (up to 20 seconds).
Media tray select button/LED
Press this button to associate the shared BladeCenter chassis media tray
(removable-media drives) with the blade server. The LED on the button
flashes while the request is being processed and then is lit when the
ownership of the media tray has been transferred to the blade server. It can
take approximately 20 seconds for the operating system in the blade server
to recognize the media tray.
If there is no response when you press the media-tray select button, you
can use the advanced management module web interface to determine
whether local control has been disabled on the blade server.
Note: The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support
for the blade server to recognize and use the removable-media drives.
Activity LED
When this green LED is lit (flashing), it indicates that there is activity on
the network or external storage device.
Location LED
The system administrator can remotely turn on this blue LED to aid in
visually locating the blade server. When this LED is lit, the location LED
on the BladeCenter chassis is also lit. The location LED can be turned on
and off through the advanced management module web interface or
through IBM Systems Director. For more information about the advanced
management module web interface, see the IBM BladeCenter Advanced
Management Module: User's Guide. For more information about IBM Systems
Director, see the documentation, which is available at http://
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/director/v6r2x/index.jsp.
Information LED
When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that an Automatic BIOS recovery
(ABR) has occurred. The blade server starts up using the backup UEFI
image. See the Problem Determination and Service Guide
The information LED can be turned off through the advanced management
module CLI, SNMP, or web interfaces or through IBM
®
Systems Director.
