Installing operating system on Dell C5230

Hi All,

We have a used Dell C5230 with 12 blades. We got it with empty disks (nos system on them). I see on the manual that there is a console/kvm cable, what cab be used to connect monitor and keyboard and install a system on the blades (see the attached screenshot from the manual). I also found the part number (2T2N6) in Dell community forum. However, it looks like, the cable is not available (at least I did not find a source).

Is there any other way to install op. system on C5230 blades?

Thank you

Hello lityi,

Thank you for choosing Dell.

Part Number 2T2N6 is the correct PN of the cable requiered for connecting perhipherals. I've checked documentation, unfortunately I didn't find information, how you could install OS in other way. the PowerEdge C5230 software requires the use of function keys and control keys for ordinary functions.

Did you contact Dell Sales Support?
