Applying Standby Power to the Server

To apply standby power to the server, follow these steps:

IMPORTANT: If the server has one BPS, plug the power cable into the receptacle labeled PWR 1.

1.Locate the appropriate receptacle on the rear of the chassis. Plug the power cord into the receptacle.

2.Observe the following LEDs at two different intervals to ensure the server is in the standby power state:

INTERVAL ONE After you plug the power cord into the server, the BPS flashes green and an no light is present on the hard disk drives.

INTERVAL TWO Approximately 30 seconds later, the BPS is green and no light is present on the hard disk drives. Standby power is now on.

LAN

The server has two LAN ports that can provide network connectivity.

Figure 3-16shows the available LAN ports for the server.

Figure 3-16 Rear Panel LAN Ports

To enable general network connectivity for the server, follow these steps:

1.Obtain valid IP addresses for each LAN port you plan to activate.

2.Connect the LAN cable from an available LAN port to a live connection on the network.

Console Setup

Setting up the console involves the following:

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

RS-232 serial port

iLO 2 MP LAN port

2.Configuring the Integrity iLO 2 MP and assigning an IP address if necessary. Though there are several methods to configuring the LAN, DHCP with DNS is the preferred one. DHCP with DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. Other options include:

ARP-Ping

RS-232 serial port
