ROMPaq utility The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online Flash Components for Windows and Linux operating systems are available for updating the system firmware. The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware revisions. For more information, see the Download drivers and software page for the server. To access the server-specific page, enter the following web address into the browser: http://www.hp.com/support/ For example: http://www.hp.com/support/dl360g6 iLO and iLO 2 technology The iLO subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO or iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO or iLO 2 independent of the host server and its operating system. The iLO or iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions. Using iLO or iLO 2, you can: • Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server. • Send alerts from iLO or iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server. • Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO or iLO 2 interface. • Diagnose iLO or iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting. For more information about iLO or iLO 2 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced for BladeSystem license), see the iLO or iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out). iLO 3 technology The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3 independent of the host server and its operating system. In addition to remote management features, iLO 3 is also responsible for managing the health of the ProLiant server. The intelligence of iLO 3 manages the Sea of Sensors thermal control, directs power management functions, and monitors the health of server components. The iLO 3 subsystem provides secure remote access from any authorized network client. The enhancements to iLO 3 enable customers to get work done faster by providing turbo-charged remote access performance, a streamlined user experience, and enhanced standards support. Using iLO 3, you can do the following: • Access a high-performance and secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere in the world. Software tools and solutions 75

iLO and iLO 2 technology
The iLO subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO or iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure
memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO or iLO 2 independent of the host server
and its operating system. The iLO or iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network
client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO or iLO 2, you can:
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
Send alerts from iLO or iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server.
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO or iLO 2 interface.
Diagnose iLO or iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO or iLO 2 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO
Advanced for BladeSystem license), see the iLO or iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the
HP website (
).
iLO 3 technology
The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3 independent of the host server and its operating
system.
In addition to remote management features, iLO 3 is also responsible for managing the health of the ProLiant
server. The intelligence of iLO 3 manages the Sea of Sensors thermal control, directs power management
functions, and monitors the health of server components.
The iLO 3 subsystem provides secure remote access from any authorized network client. The enhancements
to iLO 3 enable customers to get work done faster by providing turbo-charged remote access performance,
a streamlined user experience, and enhanced standards support.
Using iLO 3, you can do the following:
Access a high-performance and secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere in the world.
