Integrated Lights-Out 2 technology

The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its
operating system. The iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends
alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 2, you can:
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server.
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 2 interface.
Diagnose iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO 2 features, refer to the iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or
on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).
