it can be used to connect usb mouse,keyboard,dvd drive and vga monitor.
maybe some else can help you

unlike a racked server, blades have no external USB, VGA or serial ports, so there's nowhere to plug in a keyboard, monitor or mouse - or a external USB DVD drive You don't normally need these as you can access all these functions through iLO and the blade chassis OA. In the event for whatever reason you need "local" access to one of these devices, you attach the blade dongle to the front of the blade, and plug in a KVM or a DVD drive.

Just to add to what Duncan has already mentioned, this blade dongle is also called a SUV( Serial USB Video) cable.

Refer to the link below to see what the cable looks and how to use it.( SUV cable and Ports subtopic in teh overview section)

What is a "blade bongle"???




In case of a "dongle", some blade servers have an internal USB connector where you can attach an USB dongle safely.
