7. Connect a power cable to the external power connector at the rear of the blade and then plug
the cable into a power outlet. Continue by connecting the power adapter to the zero client and
then plugging the cord into a power outlet.
8. Power on the blade and then the zero client by pressing the power button on the front of
each device.
9. From the monitors connected to the zero client, click the Connect button. After several
moments, the zero client will identify host cards to which it can connect. The zero client OSD
displays one or more host card IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses (the
video host card MAC addresses are specified on a label on the side of the blade).
10. Select the blade’s host card from the list and click OK. Then press the Reset button on the
front of the blade (the left-most button on the bottom edge of the blade’s front bezel). Watch
your monitors for pre-OS video (for example, a message to press the F2 key for configuration
screens; depending on the BIOS, the specified key can be different).
11. After performing configuration steps, power off both devices. Remove the blade and zero
client power cables from the power outlets and then remove the cables from each device.
12. Remove all cables and peripherals from both devices.
13. Replace the blade in the chassis.
4.6.2 R-Series Blades
R-series blades provide pre-OS video over PCoIP sessions or over an analog video connection.
4.6.2.1 Using a Zero Client
The sections below show how to view pre-OS video (such as boot screens and BIOS) using a zero
client.
NOTE: These instructions assume that:
host card (blade) and zero client are on the same subnet (such as an imaging network
or other network)
with a DHCP server to provide IP addresses for the blade’s PCoIP
host card and zero client. MAC addresses are specified on labels on the side of the
blade and on the zero client. To identify the host card to connect to from the zero client,
you
might need to consult DHCP tables. DHCP tables should show each device’s MAC
address and the corresponding IP address assigned to the host card and zero client.
Service Location Protocol (SLP) is permitted on the network.
