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.

Determining the Integrated Administrator's Initial
IP Address
HP recommends that you connect a local client device, such as a laptop computer, to the console
(serial) connector in order to determine the initial IP address used by the network to recognize
the Integrated Administrator. After using that IP address to access the Integrated Administrator
locally using the console (serial) connector, you can use the Integrated Administrator default
values to complete the initial configuration.
The organization of this section reflects this process:
