To perform the initial blade appliance configuration,
you can use either a concurrent-KVM (cKVM) or a Serial over LAN (SOL)
console connection.
Both of these connections are accessed through
the advanced management module in the BladeCenter unit, either using
a local physical connection (keyboard, video, or serial port) to the
advanced management module, or a network connection to the advanced
management module. For information about connecting to the advanced
management module, see the IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management
Module User's Guide or the IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management
Module Command-Line Interface Reference Guide.
