You have two methods to connect to the ELOM in your server:
■ Serial/Local

Both methods require making physical cable connections to the server and logging
in to the ELOM; refer to
TABLE 2-1 .
Note – The ELOM supports a maximum of 10 active sessions, including serial, SSH,
and web browser sessions.

emulation software to the RJ-45 serial port on the server using the supplied cable.
