This method enables you to configure a server blade out of the rack by powering
the blade with the diagnostic station and connecting to an existing network
through a hub. The IP address is assigned by a DHCP server on a network.
iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility
The iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility (iLO RBSU) is the recommended method to
configure and set up the iLO subsystem. The iLO RBSU is designed to assist you
with setting up iLO subsystem on a network; it is not intended for continued
administration.
To run iLO RBSU:
1. Restart or power up the server blade.
2. Press the F8 key when prompted during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). The
iLO RBSU runs.
3. Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges
(Administer User Accounts, Configure iLO Settings).
4. Make and save any necessary changes to the iLO configuration.
5. Exit iLO RBSU, when finished.
HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP
cannot be used, use one of the following procedures to disable DNS/DHCP and to
configure the IP address and the subnet mask:
1. Log into iLO using the DNS/DHCP IP address.
2. At the Administration screen, enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the
appropriate iLO privileges.
3. Select Network Settings and enter the appropriate information.
