IMPORTANT: The HP Integrity rx8640 and rx7640 midrange servers support only one Lights-Out
Advanced KVM card per partition, and the card must be installed in an I/O chassis with a core
I/O card installed. If you install multiple Lights-Out Advanced KVM cards on one partition, only
the first card that is detected is fully enabled. Subsequent cards will have only USB functionality
enabled.
IMPORTANT: The graphics functionality of the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card also takes
precedence over the A6869B graphics/USB PCI card. If both a Lights-Out Advanced KVM card
and an A6869B card are present on a partition, the A6869B card has only USB functionality
enabled. HP recommends removing the A6869B card if you have both cards installed on a
partition.

IMPORTANT: Cabling requirements:
• You must connect the LAN port on the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card to the same network
as the MP LAN port on the server.
• You need a network cable to your regular core I/O MP port - one per complex.
• You need one network cable to each Lights-Out Advanced KVM card.
To install the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card, perform the following steps:
1. Shut down the nPartition and power-off the appropriate PCI power domain.
2. Locate an empty mode-1 PCI-X slot where the card will be installed.
