Configuring a ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blade Enclosure
To configure a BL p-Class server blade enclosure using static IP bay addressing, you
must:
1. Install a server blade in bay 1 of the server blade enclosure. The server blade
does not need to be configured or have an operating system installed, however,
the server blade iLO must be configured before installing any additional server
blades in the enclosure.
2. Connect a client device to the front-panel iLO port of the server blade using the
local I/O cable. This will enable the static 192.168.1.1 for the iLO web interface.
3. Using the iLO web interface, select the BL p-Class tab to access the Static IP Bay
Settings.
