Integrated Lights-Out technology
The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
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, refer to the iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or
on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out
).
iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility
HP recommends using iLO RBSU to configure and set up iLO. iLO RBSU is designed to assist you with
setting up iLO on a network; it is not intended for continued administration.
To run iLO RBSU:
1. Restart or power up the server.
2. Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3. Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User
Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default
Network Settings tag.
4. Make and save any necessary changes to the iLO configuration.
5. Exit iLO RBSU.
HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP cannot be used, use the
following procedure to disable DNS/DHCP and to configure the IP address and the subnet mask:
1. Restart or power up the server.
2. Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
