Connect the remote console

The remote console is used as a console for each server blade of the Compute Blade
2000. The remote console enables users to power on and off the server blades, to setup
basic input/output system (BIOS) configuration, and to install the OS using a remote
console terminal connected to the server blades via a local area network (LAN).
You can use the remote console by running the Remote Console Application on a console
terminal. There are two kinds of Remote Console Application available for Compute Blade
2000.


Remote Console Application (Reclient) is a Windows application that provides
remote console functionality and can be installed on a console terminal where
Windows OS is installed.
Remote Console Application (Java application)

Remote Console Application (Java application) is a Java application that provides
Remote Console functionality. Remote Console Application is downloaded from a
server blade and runs on a console terminal.
