and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its operating
system. The iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and
provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 2, you can:
• Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
• Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server.
• Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 2 interface.
• Diagnose iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO 2 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced for
BladeSystem license), see the iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website
