  • Providing a blade center with additional video output capability via a backup blade center management module
    Patent number: 7917837
    Abstract: A blade center is provided with an additional video output system which includes additional video output capabilities to allow a user to point to another blade within the blade center to work locally on a blade that does not include media tray access. The local access is granted via a control (e.g., a button) on the control panel of the blades or a control on the chassis or management module that allows the user to specify which blade to use for the second video output connection to a KVM console or direct host connect. This video output system advantageously allows more than one blade to be interactively utilized in a graphic environment at any time. Other blades executing local applications can be accessed and/or modified while another blade is accessing the media tray for installations and using one of the video output controls.
