Using the Active Onboard Administrator

OA is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base that supports the HPE
BladeSystem and all managed devices in the enclosure.
The Active Onboard Administrator page allows you to view enclosure information, start the OA web
interface, and toggle the enclosure UID LED. This page is displayed only when an enclosure is present.

This page provides general information about the primary OA in the enclosure in which the iLO processor
is located.
