3 Setting Up and Connecting the Console

To set up the console, follow these steps:

1.Determine the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections to the Integrity iLO 2 MP:

•Console serial port (RS-232)

•iLO 2 MP LAN port

2.Configure the Integrity iLO 2 MP and assign an IP address if necessary. Though there are several methods to configuring the LAN, HP recommends DHCP with DNS. DHCP with DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. Other options include the following:

•ARP-Ping
