CAUTION:
The SUV cable is not designed to be used as a permanent connection.
Use caution when walking near the server blade when the SUV cable is installed. Hitting or bumping
the cable might cause the port on the server blade to break. This can damage the system board.

Connecting to the serial port
IMPORTANT:
It is not necessary to physically connect to the Integrity iLO 3 via the serial port to perform any
management task. The intention is that the iLO LAN port should be used to communicate with any
iLO in the enclosure, as well as the Onboard Administrator. The LCD panel and the Onboard
Administrator can be used to configure and determine the iLO LAN address.
To physically connect to Integrity iLO 3 using the serial port:
1. Connect the SUV cable to the SUV port (i.e., the diagnostic port).
2. Connect an RS-232 cable to the RS-232 port on the SUV cable. This is the local connection to
the Integrity iLO 3 consoles.
3. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to your terminal emulator.
NOTE:
The terminal emulator is typically software that runs on a PC, such as Putty, Reflections, or Hyper
Terminal. This software enables a PC to communicate with the server using one of the PC’s comm
ports. If the PC has a RS-232 serial port then connect the cable to that port and then configure the
terminal emulator software to use that serial port. However, if the PC does NOT have a serial port,
then you will need a USB to Serial converter. These devices can be ordered from Hewlett Packard
Enterprise and typically are in-expensive. The device has a USB connector that plugs into a USB
port on the PC, and it has a RS-232 port for connecting to the SUV serial port.
