Working from a CLI
The BladeManager allows you to use a command line interface (CLI) as an
alternative to the web interface. You may use Linux or Windows-based secure
shell (SSH) client. The same restrictions to the web management interface
apply to the CLI.
>> Logging In
1. To connect to the BladeManager, enter the following shell commands:
Note: The “l” in ssh-1 is the alphabet “l” as in lemon).

prompt.
