Cisco UCS B200 Blade Server Installation and Service Note
OL-22473-02
Connectors
A console port is provided to give a direct connection to a blade server to allow operating system
installation and other management tasks to be done directly rather than remotely. The port uses the KVM
dongle device included in the chassis accessory kit.
The KVM cable (N20-BKVM shown in Figure 2) provides a connection into a Cisco UCS blade server,
providing a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector for a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard
and mouse. With this cable you can create a direct connection to the operating system and the BIOS
running on a blade server.
