iLO 2
iLO 2 is a stan
dard component of P roLiant c-Class server blades that provides server health and remote
server blade manageability. Its features are accessed from a network client device using a supported web
browser. In addition to other features, iLO 2 provides keyboard, m ouse, and video (text and graphics)
capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host OS or host ser ver blade.
iLO 2 includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This
design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server blade and its OS. iLO 2 provides remote access to
any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server blade management functions.
Using a supported web browser, you can:
• Remotely a
ccess the console of the host server blade, including all text mode and graphics mode
screens w
ith full keyboard and mouse controls.
• Remotely power up, p ower down, or reboot the host server blade.
• Remotely boot a host server blade to a virtual media image to perform a ROM upgrade or
install a
nOS.
• Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server blade.
• Access advanced troubleshooting features provided by iLO 2.
• Launch a
web browser, use SNMP alerting, and diagnose the server blade with HP SIM.
• Config ure static IP bay settings for the dedicated iLO 2 management N ICs on each ser ver blade
in an enclosure for faster deployment.
To connect to the server b lade using iLO 2, install the ser ver blade in an enclosure. Onboard
Admini
strator assigns an IP address to enable iLO 2 connectivity to the server blade.
The c-C
lass tab enables you to control specific settings for the HP BladeSystem. iLO 2 also provides

System Recovery DVD
The System Recovery DVD is used to restore the system to factory defaults. Keep this DVD in a safe place.
You may boot from the DVD and restore the system to the factory condition at any time. This allows you
to recover the system if all other means to boot the system fails. While the recovery process makes
every attempt to preserve the existing data volumes, you should have a backup of your data if at all
possible before recovering the system.
