2 Configuration Configuring LO100 with the LO100CFG utility The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that delivers unattended automated installation for high volume ProLiant server installations. Available in Win32 and Linux editions, the Toolkit supports ProLiant DL and ML 300, 500, 700 and ProLiant BL servers in both Windows and Linux environments and now includes limited ProLiant 100 series support. The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these new tools to build an automated server deployment process. The toolkit contains an important tool for high volume LO100 configuration and deployment-the LO100CFG utility. Using this and other configuration tools in the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit will allow allow rapid, scripted installation of LO100 and other 100 series configurations.

Configuring network access
Through your server network connection, you can access the remote management CLP, verify POST
(power-on self test) remotely, access the server through a web browser, and access the BIOS Setup
Utility remotely.
To configure network access:
1.
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the LO100 NICto a network jack.
2.
Press the
F10
key to access BIOS.
3.
Obtain the DHCP IP address.

.
Alternatively, you can perform one of the following methods:
•
Look at the DHCP clients table.
•
Look at the DNS client records for an entry of LO100<serial server number>. (The default
DNS host name for each LO100 is unique.)
By default, LO100 has DHCP enabled and automatically negotiates an IP address.
4.
With the DHCP IP address, use Telnet to log in to the remote management CLP, or use a web
browser to access the HTML interface.
