Getting Started The HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator enables monitoring and management of all functions within an enclosure, including functions specific to the blade PCs housed within it. Once configured, the Integrated Administrator provides these features through both a Web-based user interface and CLI.
Page 18: Identifying Integrated Administrator Components
Getting Started Identifying Integrated Administrator Components Each HP PC Blade Enclosure interconnect tray ships with the Integrated Administrator module already installed and provides external connectivity using two connectors on the rear panel. Ä CAUTION: Do not plug anything into the enclosure link connectors. They are reserved for future use and are not designed to accept a 10/100 Ethernet connector.
Page 19: Requirements For Local Client Devices
Getting Started Requirements for Local Client Devices You can access the Integrated Administrator locally using the serial connector on the rear panel of the enclosure using a local client device, such as a laptop computer. The local client device must run a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal for Windows systems or Kermit for Linux systems.
