Oracle System Assistant
Oracle System Assistant enables you to set up and manage the Oracle Server X5-2. Oracle
System Assistant is a task-based server provisioning tool that helps you to perform initial server
setup and maintenance for Oracle x86 servers. Using Oracle System Assistant, you can install
a supported Oracle Solaris, Oracle VM, Linux, or Windows operating system, update your
server to the latest software release, and configure server hardware. Oracle System Assistant is
a factory-installed option that is available when you purchase the server. If your server includes
Oracle System Assistant, it resides on an internal USB flash drive.
For information about using Oracle System Assistant, see the Oracle X5 Series Servers
Administration Guide at https://www.oracle.com/goto/x86admindiag/docs.

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) enables you to manage the Oracle Server X5-
2. Use Oracle ILOM to connect to the server's service processor (SP). The server is shipped
