Powering On the Server Blade
Use the following procedure to power on the server blade after it is installed in the enclosure.
1.
Ensure the server blade is in standby mode by verifying the power button LED is amber.
If the power button LED is green, the server blade has full power.
2.
Press the power button momentarily to power on the server blade.
Accessing the Integrated Lights Out 2 Management Processor
When you install the server blade in the enclosure, you must access the Integrated Lights Out
Management Processor (iLO 2 MP) on the server blade. To access to the server blade iLO 2 MP,
use the enclosure OA iLO 2 port on the rear of the enclosure, or the RS-232 port on the SUV cable.
Use the server blade iLO 2 MP for advanced troubleshooting, diagnostics, and the initial network
configuration of the server blade.
There are two methods to access the iLO 2 MP, depending on how your server blade enclosure
is set up at installation:
•
If the OA iLO 2 port on the enclosure is connected to the local network that has a DHCP server,
your iLO 2 MP IP address is generated by the DHCP server.
To access the iLO 2 MP through a DHCP server, see
“Accessing the iLO 2 MP with DHCP
Enabled” (page 44)
.
•
If the enclosure is not connected to a network, you must configure your server through the
serial port on the SUV cable.
To access the iLO 2 MP without a network connection, see
“Accessing the iLO 2 MP with No
Network Connection” (page 46)
.
DHCP is default-enabled on the server blade.
To perform these procedures, the server blade enclosure must be powered on and operating
correctly.
Throughout this procedure, there are references to the OA iLO 2 and iLO 2 MP:
•
OA iLO 2 refers to the enclosure Onboard Administrator iLO 2
•
iLO 2 MP refers to the server blade iLO 2 Management Processor
Accessing the iLO 2 MP with DHCP Enabled
This procedure assumes that you have a DHCP server connected to the same local network as your
server blade, and the server blade is installed into the enclosure. The server blade comes from the
factory with DHCP enabled.
To access the iLO 2 MP using DHCP:
1.
Use the display panel on the front of the enclosure to get the iLO 2 MP IP address.
The iLO 2 MP IP address is automatically assigned by the DHCP server to the server blade.
2.
Use the down arrow on the front display panel to highlight Blade or Port Info.
Figure 27

selection highlighted on Main Menu of the front display
