Local Console –A local console system interacts with a server using a set of KVM devices and can
be in-rack or off-rack. In this paper, in-rack local console refers to a flat panel display and a
keyboard/trackball in the same rack as the servers. Off-rack local console refers to any
combination of a display, a keyboard, and a pointing device located outside of the rack. A local
console system does not use a network connection to interact with the server.
Low Voltage – AC line voltage of 100 V to 120 V.
N.A. – North America, including U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Network Interface Controllers (NICs) – Controllers that are embedded on the system board of
the ProLiant DL380 Generation 3 server.
Power Distribution Unit (PDU) – A PDU is a high-voltage or low-voltage device that is equipped
with circuit breakers that help prevent electrical surges and external equipment malfunction by
providing over current and surge protection for connected devices. See the “Power Distribution Units”
section of this paper.
Remote Console – A remote console is a server console system that uses a network connection to
interact with the server. This system enables any computer with appropriate software and network
access to control a server from anywhere across the globe. HP recommends using the remote-console
system for managing a large number of servers because it eliminates the congestion of KVM cabling.
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II (RILOE II) – The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II is
designed to provide remote access and control of ProLiant server products from anywhere on the
network with a standard Web browser. Consequently, customers can deploy a server in a true
“headless” fashion with a minimum of only three cables per server: one power cord for the server,
one network cable for the LAN connection, and one network cable for the RILOE management LAN
connection. Using the RILOE II, customers can deploy 42 ProLiant DL380 Generation 3 servers in a
42U rack with significantly fewer cables than in a local console.
Server Console Switch – A device that enables multiple servers in a rack to be accessed and
managed by a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. These switches are also known as KVM
switches.
Sliding Rail – A tool-free rack management system designed for in-rack serviceability.
UID LED and Switch – The blue Unit Identification (UID) LED identifies that the ProLiant DL380
Generation 3 server requires service. A UID switch toggles both the front and rear UID LEDs
simultaneously.
Wake-on LAN (WOL) – An option that enables a remote restart of the server.
