Web GUI

The web GUI uses event-driven, push technology. No screen refresh is necessary to view failures or

events. If an event occurs, it is pushed to the web GUI and updated immediately. The GUI provides

seamless integration with HP OpenView, Insight Control Data Center Edition, and Insight Control

Linux® Edition.

Administrators who commonly use scripting commands can access the Onboard Administrator this

way.

The standard Onboard Administrator module is preinstalled in a front-loading tray that also houses

the HP BladeSystem Insight Display. The Onboard Administrator module contains a serial connector

for connection to a PC with a null-modem RS232 serial cable. A USB connector is also available for

future USB connectivity. A separate rear-loading Onboard Administrator link module contains RJ-45

ports for enclosure link-up/link-down connectivity and Onboard Administrator network access

(Figure 15).

The Onboard Administrator link module contains two enclosure link ports to allow any active

Onboard Administrator module to access linked enclosures. On a standalone enclosure or top

enclosure in a series of linked enclosures, the top enclosure link-up port functions as a service port for

temporary connection to a PC with a CAT5 patch cable. It provides quick access to any Onboard

Administrator module, iLO 2, or interconnect module with Ethernet management ability.
