Remote management and console Ethernet connector

Your BladeCenter management module contains one 10/100 Mb Ethernet connector that provides the remote connection to the network management station on the network.

Use this port for remote management and remote console.

The network management station, through this connector, can access control functions running in the management module, the service processor on each blade server, or within each switch module. However, it cannot use this port to communicate with application programs running in the blade servers. The network management station must direct those communications through a network connected to the external ports in the I/O modules in the BladeCenter unit.
