I don't have no 48V DC power supply yet.

By Googling I've found that there's an adapter cable I can buy to get
standard VGA/Ethernet/USB ports out of each blade.

But sadly there´s a missing cable that interconnects the PC-ILO female
sockets at the enclosure with some interconnect backplane (at first I
thought those were Ethernet but no, there is s a management socket for
every blade, where you can connect the above cables...).

I feel like I´m polluting this list. I´ve googled but couldn´t find any
specific mailing lists for HP blades, or even blades in general... I´m sure
there´s corporate sysadmins familiar with this stuff somewhere...
