Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition Board
The following information provides an overview of the Remote Insight
Lights-Out Edition board capabilities. Refer to the Compaq Remote Insight
Lights-Out Edition Installation and Users Guide on the Documentation CD for
further information.
The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board is a PCI-based, single-board
computer that uses a Web interface to provide remote management for the
server from a remote console. Complete keyboard, mouse, and video
capability for the server is available, regardless of the state of the host
operating system or the host CPU. A built-in processor, combined with a
standard external power supply, makes the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition
board independent of the host server and its operating system. The Remote
Insight Lights-Out Edition board provides remote access, sends alerts, and
performs other management functions, even if the host server operating system
is not responding or the server has lost power.
The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board provides the following features:
■
Hardware-based graphical remote console access
IMPORTANT:
The remote client console must have a direct browser connection to the
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board without passing through a proxy server or
firewall.
