Accessing the Graphic Console Using VGA

VGA is a method you can use to access the graphic console.

NOTE: You cannot access the iLO 2 MP using VGA.

This method requires three elements:

•Monitor (VGA connector)

•Keyboard (USB connector)

•Mouse (USB connector)

The graphic console output displays on the monitor screen.

IMPORTANT: The server console output does not display on the console device screen until the server boots to the EFI Shell. Start a console session using the RS-232 serial port method to view console output prior to booting to the EFI Shell or to access the iLO 2 MP. See “Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port” (page 88).

To access the graphic console with VGA, follow these steps:

1.Perform preparation tasks.

2.Connect the cables. See your user service guide for specific port information.

a.Connect the monitor VGA cable to the appropriate VGA port on your server.

b.Connect the keyboard USB cable to the appropriate USB port on your server.

c.Connect the mouse USB cable to the appropriate USB port on your server.

3.Power on the server. The EFI Shell prompt displays.
