Removing and installing the KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) module
The KVM module is a hot-swap unit that is installed in the rear of the BladeCenter
T unit and is held in place by captive thumbscrews. The KVM module provides the
electrical and mechanical interface to the BladeCenter T unit for a local keyboard,
RGB VGA video monitor, and a mouse. Five LEDs on the KVM module
system-status panel are used for system status information: power, location, minor
alarm, major alarm, and critical alarm. See “KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) module
indicators and input/output connectors” on page 16 for information about the
