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
Integrity iLO MP:
— LAN
— Local RS-232 serial port
•
Configure the Integrity iLO 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
