Step Action
"Server Blade Connection" (page 45)
1. Determine the access method to select and connect
cables.
2. Determine the LAN configuration method and assign
an IP address if necessary.
3. Find and remove the iLO Network Information Tag.
This tag contains the default DNS name and iLO 2
login information. Removing the tag ensures
ventilation holes are kept clear for proper server
cooling.
Choose a method to configure the LAN for iLO 2 access:
• DHCP with DNS (Use the default DNS name supplied
on your iLO Network Information Tag.)
• ARP Ping (This feature is supported on certain
Integrity servers to assign a static IP number to the MP
LAN.)
• Console serial port (RS-232) (You can perform all iLO
2 text commands from a serial console, or you can use
this interface to assign a static IP number, disconnect
the serial port, and resume from a web browser.)
Log in to iLO 2 from
• a supported web browser if using DNS or static IP
• the TUI if using the console serial port
Use the default user name and password (Admin, Admin)
as found on your removable iLO Network Information
Tag.
Change the default user name and password on the
administrator account to your predefined selections.
Set up the user accounts if you are using the local accounts
feature.
Set up the security access settings.
Access the host console using your method of choice.
