HP DL165 Technologies for HP ProLiant 100-series G5 (Generation 5) servers, 2n - Page 10

The Easy Set-up CD is tailored to a specific server model (ML110 G5 or ML115 G5) and loads operating system drivers that have been optimized to maximize performance. Embedded utilities are leveraged to provide a customized configuration or to set intelligent defaults for the server hardware and array controller. The Easy Set-up CDs provide assisted installation for Microsoft Windows 2003 Server and Windows 2008 Server operating systems (32- and 64-bit). The CD also provides drivers for various Linux distributions for manual installation. Check the server QuickSpecs to determine the exact Linux distributions supported. System administrators can use the CD in an Assisted mode or Manual mode. In the Assisted mode, the Easy Set-up CD guides the user through the process of loading the OS using vendor-supplied CDs. In the Manual mode, the user can load the OS first and then use the Autorun capability of the Easy Set-up CD to access the appropriate OS support software. After the server has been configured, the Easy Set-up CD uses HP Insight Diagnostics to check various subsystems including the processor, I/O, storage array controllers, graphics, memory, and remote management. Additional information on the Easy Set-up CD is available at http://www.hp.com/servers/easysetup.

Cost-effective manageability ProLiant 100-series servers support HP Lights-Out 100 (LO100) Remote Management. HP LO100 Remote Management is firmware that provides remote server access and control capabilities through an Ethernet interface. The HP LO100 management interface is active even when the OS is not operating. The LO100 management processor obtains its power from the auxiliary power plane of the server, so it is available as long as the server is plugged into an active power source. HP LO100 Remote Management is compatible with industry standards including Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0 for hardware health, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH) technology for secure communications over public and private local area networks. HP LO100 is fully accessible using popular web browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (Microsoft Windows clients), Firefox 1.5 (Windows and Linux clients), and Mozilla 1.7.12 (Windows and Linux clients). HP LO100 is also accessible using System Management Architecture for Server Hardware Command line Protocol (SMASH CLP) for Telnet and SSH sessions. 10
