4.5.2Preparing HP ProLiant DL160 G5 Nodes
Use the BIOS Setup Utility to configure the appropriate settings for an HP XC system on HP ProLiant DL160 G5 servers.
For this hardware model, you cannot set or modify the default console port password through the BIOS Setup Utility, as you can for other hardware models. The HP XC System Software Installation Guide describes how to modify the console port password. You are instructed to perform the task just after the discover command discovers the IP addresses of the console ports.
Figure 4-2 shows the rear view of the HP ProLiant DL160 G5 server and the appropriate port assignments for an HP XC system.
