Each server deployed in a fully populated rack with an in-rack IP console management system
requires the following accessories for successful deployment and operation:
• Interface adapter
• UTP CAT5 cable [1.8 m (6 ft) cables for sliding rail solutions]
• Rack Rail kit (standard rack rails and cable management arm, telco rack solution, or roundhole
rack rails and cable management arm)
Off-Rack Local
Consoles
When an off-rack local console is used, certain components such as console switchboxes, keyboards,
and video displays do not populate space in the rack, but are located in close proximity to the rack.
Because of this, the rack can be fully populated with servers. Cable lengths for connecting servers to
an off-rack local console vary in length depending on the location of the console.
Each server deployed in a fully populated rack with an off-rack console management system requires
the following accessories for successful deployment and operation:
• Rack Rail kit (standard rack rails and cable management arm, telco rack solution, or round-hole
rack rails and cable management arm)
• KVM server to console cables
• One or two RJ-45 cables for NIC 1 and NIC 2
Remote Console
Management
Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server
health and remote server manageability. The iLO subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor,
secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO independent of the host
server and its operating system. Integrated Lights-Out provides remote access to any authorized
network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions. For information about
iLO features, refer to the Integrated Lights-Out User Guide on the Documentation CD or at
www.hp.com/servers/lights-out.
Each server deployed in a fully populated rack with a remote console management system requires
the following accessories for successful deployment and operation:
• Rack Rail kit (standard rack rails and cable management arm, telco rack solution, or round-hole
rack rails and cable management arm)
• An RJ-45 cable for the iLO port
• One or two RJ-45 cables for NIC 1 and NIC 2
• One or two RJ-45 cables for NIC 1 and NIC 2
