ABSTRACT:
A system for externally controlling keyboard video monitor (KVM) functions within a server blade architecture. The system includes an external KVM controller and a server blade chassis coupled to the external KVM controller. The server blade chassis includes a server blade and a management module coupled to the server blade. The management module includes an integrated KVM module. The integrated KVM module detects whether the external KVM controller is coupled to the server blade chassis. When the external KVM controller is coupled to the server blade chassis, the integrated KVM module functions as a relay agent between the external KVM controller and the server blade. When the external KVM controller is not coupled to the server blade chassis, the integrated KVM module functions as a master KVM controller for the server blade chassis.
