The server blade must be properly cabled for iLO 2 connectivity. Connect to the server blade with one of
the following methods:
•
Through an existing network (in the rack)—This method requires you to install the server blade in its
enclosure and assign it an IP address manually or using DHCP.
•
Through the server blade I/O port
In the rack—This method requires you to connect the local I/O cable to the I/O port and a client
o
PC. Using the static IP address listed on the I/O cable label and the initial access information on
the front of the server blade, you can access the server blade with the iLO 2 Advanced Remote
Console.
Out of the rack, with the diagnostic station—This method requires you to power the server blade
o
with the optional diagnostic station and connect to an external computer using the static IP
address and the local I/O cable. For cabling instructions, refer to the documentation that ships
with the diagnostic station or to the Documentation CD.
Through the server blade rear panel connectors (out of the rack, with the diagnostic station)—This
o
method enables you to configure a server blade out of the rack by powering the blade with the
diagnostic station and connecting to an existing network through a hub. The IP address is
assigned by a DHCP server on a network.
The BL p-Class tab enables you to control specific settings for the ProLiant BL p-Class blade server rack.
