Configuring and Deploying Server Blades Configuration Hardware Setup You can configure the server blades in the rack or out of the rack, as long as the proper connection to the network exists. Connect to the server blade in one of the four following ways: • Through the existing network This method requires you to install the server blade in its enclosure and assign it an IP address (manually or using DHCP). Then, you can use the iLO Remote Console to access the server blade. • Through the server blade diagnostic port This method requires you to connect the diagnostic cable to the diagnostic port and a client PC. Using the static IP address listed on the diagnostic cable label and the initial access information on the front of the server blade, you can access the server blade with the iLO Remote Console. For diagnostic cabling instructions, refer to the ProLiant BL p-Class System Diagnostic Station Installation Guide that shipped with the diagnostic station. • Through the server blade diagnostic port (with the diagnostic station) This method requires you to power the server blade with the optional diagnostic station and connect to an external computer using the static IP address and the diagnostic cable. For cabling instructions, refer to the documentation that ships with the diagnostic station or to the Documentation CD. IMPORTANT: This method provides the proper connections for iLO access and functionality, but it does not support operating system deployment. • Through the server blade rear panel connectors (with the diagnostic station) This method enables you to configure a server blade out of the rack by powering the blade with the diagnostic station and connecting to the existing network through a hub. The IP address is assigned by a DHCP server on the network. For more information about these hardware and cabling configurations, refer to the Compaq ProLiant BL p-Class System Hardware Configuration and Installation poster and the documentation that ships with the diagnostic station. 3-10 Compaq ProLiant BL20p Server Blade Setup and Installation Guide
