All iLO 2 functions are available through the server MP LAN port and the local and remote serial
ports. On HP Integrity server blades, all iLO 2 functions are available on the Onboard
Administrator (OA). This chapter describes the available iLO 2 ports, connectors, and LEDs on
the HP Integrity server blades, and the rx2660, rx3600, and rx6600 servers.

HP Integrity Server Blade Components

Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware
base used to support the HP Integrity server blades and all the managed devices contained within
the enclosure. The OA provides a single point from which to perform basic management tasks
on server blades or switches within the enclosure. Using this hard-wired knowledge, the OA
performs initial configuration steps for the enclosure, enables runtime management and
configuration of the enclosure components, and informs you of problems within the enclosure
through email, SNMP, or the Insight Display.
Before setting up the HP BladeSystem OA, HP recommends that you read the HP BladeSystem
Onboard Administrator User Guide on the HP website at:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00705292/c00705292.pdf
Reading this guide ensures that you understand the HP BladeSystem OA and that you properly
complete the initial setup to facilitate its proper functioning.
