Hot-unplugging a keyboard—Disconnecting a local keyboard from the server
while the server is in a powered on state.
Hot-Plug Keyboard Recommended Usage
For best results, follow these guidelines:
Only hot-plug a local keyboard after the operating system has booted.
Do not hot-unplug the local keyboard before the operating system has
booted. Hot-plugging or hot-unplugging of the local keyboard before
the operating system boots can lead to unpredictable results.
WARNING: Do not change iLO network settings or port
assignments, reset iLO, upgrade iLO firmware, or otherwise make
iLO unavailable while powering on the server or booting the
operating system without a local keyboard connected. Perform
these actions before powering on the server or after the operating
system has booted. If performing these actions before powering
on the server, wait 30 seconds until applying power.
Failure to follow the preceding guidelines can result in loss of local and Remote
Console keyboard functionality.
Hot-Plug Keyboard Troubleshooting
If the hot-plug keyboard is unavailable or locks up, review the following to
correct the problem. For best results, follow the guidelines in "Hot-Plug
Keyboard Recommended Usage (on page 107
)."
• If a Remote Console session is active on the server, the local keyboard will
not be functional after hot-plugging it. This configuration is by design, for
security purposes.
