The callouts in the figure enumerate the following:

1.This port is used for the connection to the Console Switch. On the back of the node, this port is marked with LO100i.

2.This port is used for the connection to the Administration Switch (branch or root). On the back of the node, this port is marked with the number 1 (NIC1).

3.If a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interconnect is configured, this port is used for the interconnect connection. Otherwise, it is used for an external connection. On the back of the node, this port is marked with the number 2 (NIC2).

Setup Procedure

Perform the following procedure for each HP ProLiant DL160 G5 node in the hardware configuration. Change only the values described in this procedure; do not change any other factory-set values unless you are instructed to do so. Follow all steps in the sequence shown:

1.Use the instructions in the accompanying HP ProLiant hardware documentation to connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the node.

2.Turn on power to the node. Watch the screen carefully during the power-on, self-test, and press the F10 key when prompted to access the BIOS Setup Utility. The Lights-Out 100i (LO-100i) console management device is configured through the BIOS Setup Utility.

The BIOS Setup Utility displays the following information about the node:

BIOS ROM ID: BIOS Version: BIOS Build Date:

Record this information for future reference.

3.For each node, make the following BIOS settings from the Main window. The BIOS settings for HP ProLiant DL160 G5 nodes are listed in Table 4-5.
