Connecting media to the workstation blade
The workstation blade architecture supports three primary methods of connecting media to the blade (such as
a CD/DVD drive).
• Connecting media to one of the USB connectors on the Local I/O Cable
• Connecting a shared network drive to the blade
• Using iLO 2 virtual media to mount PC media (such as a CD/DVD drive) to the workstation blade
In addition, the c3000 Enclosure supports an optional DVD drive that can be used to install the operating
system or software on a workstation blade. Using the c3000 Onboard Administrator, the DVD drive can be
attached to any or all workstation blades in the enclosure.
Powering on the workstation blade
The workstation blade powers on in User Mode. For more information, see "Remote Console modes (on
page
6 )".
You can power on the workstation blade manually by pressing the power button on the front of the
workstation blade, by using the iLO 2 Remote Console, or by Onboard Administrator.
To power on the workstation blade locally using the Local I/O Cable:
1. Install the workstation blade in the c3000 or c7000 Enclosure. The blade is hot-pluggable and can be
inserted and removed while the enclosure is powered.
2. Connect the Local I/O Cable to the Local I/O Connector on the front of the workstation blade. Connect
a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse to the Local I/O Cable.
Depending on how you interact with the workstation blade and how many USB devices you have
connected to the Local I/O Cable (such as a keyboard and mouse), you might have to add a USB hub
to connect additional USB devices, such as a USB CD/DVD drive.
3. Power on the blade by pressing the front panel Power On button. The boot sequence appears on the
monitor. Set Remote Console Mode to Setup Mode, save the BIOS setting, and then continue with the
boot process.
4. If using the Graphics Expansion Blade, allow the Onboard Administrator to power up the blade.
Workstation blade sleep states
The workstation blade supports two sleep states: S0 (fully on) and S5 (off but connected to power). Do not use
any other power management states (such as Hibernate or Standby). From sleep state S5, WOL is supported
by both NIC1 and NIC2. However, a workstation blade in sleep state S5 is unable to respond to an RGS
