Setting Up the Console

Setting up the console includes the following steps:
• Determine the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections
to the iLO 2 MP:
— RS-232
— LAN.
• Configure the Integrity iLO 2 MP and assign an IP address if necessary. Though there are
several methods to configuring the LAN, DHCP with DNS is the preferred method. DHCP
with DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. Other options include:
— ARP Ping
— Local RS-232 serial port
— Remote/modem port
