server's service processor (SP). The server supports two types of local consoles:
■
A terminal connected to the serial management port (SER MGT)
You can connect the terminal directly to the port or connect it to a terminal emulator that is
connected directly to the port.

A VGA monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse connected directly to the video port
(VGA) and any of the four exterior USB connectors
