Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card Quick Setup Steps To perform a quick setup of the Integrity Lights-Out Advanced KVM card for vMedia and the IRC, follow these steps: 1. Plug the LAN cable into the MP of the core I/O card for the complex. 2. Plug the LAN cable into the LAN slot of the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card for each nPar. NOTE: Usually, the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card obtains its IP address automatically from a DHCP server. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must manually set the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card IP address. To manually set the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card IP address, see "Configuring the Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card" (page 59) 3. Browse to iLO 2 (MP) and login. a. -> Administration -> Network Settings -> Device to modify: KVM b. -> assign a network address (DHCP or static) -> Submit. NOTE: You may also need to set up the Domain Name Server if you are not using DHCP. 4. Check the status of vMedia availability. a. Virtual Media -> select partition: -> (check status directly under "select partition status" ) it should read "Status: vMedia is available". • If not, there may not be network connectivity to the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card - check this with ARP ping. • If the network is OK, check that another vMedia window for this complex is not open somewhere. NOTE: Only one vMedia window is shared among all the npars in the complex. b. If this fails, log out of iLO 2 and log back in again. 5. Once the vMedia window opens, select Local Image File. 6. Browse to the iso file and click Connect. Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card for sx2000 Servers 63
