User guide overview

This guide covers the standard and optional operational features of the LO100 used in HP ProLiant DL140 G2, DL145 G2, ML150 G2, and ML110 G3 servers.

This guide is an update to the HP ProLiant DL140 G2, DL145 G2, ML150 G2, and ML110 G3 LO100 remote management user guides.

Server management

HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 delivers basic remote control of vital server resources, supports IPMI 2.0, and provides system administrators with access to the server at any time, even before an operating system is installed on the server.

HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 provides text mode console redirection, DMTF SMASH compliant command line interface, and browser access to many of the same system management functions. You can access LO100 through a dedicated Ethernet port or through the server serial port.
