Through an existing network (out of the rack, with the diagnostic station): This
method enables you to configure a server blade out of the rack by powering the
server 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.
Other methods are available for connecting to the ProLiant BL30p server blade, but
they do not provide the network accessibility required to deploy the server. Refer to
"Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Management" in this chapter for information about
these additional methods.
NOTE: For more information about these hardware and cabling configurations, refer to the
HP ProLiant BL p-Class System Hardware Configuration and Installation Poster and the
documentation that ships with the diagnostic station.
Server blades have two mechanisms for using the CD-ROM for deployment:
•
iLO Virtual CD-ROM
