Preparing to Set Up iLO MP Perform the following tasks before you configure the iLO MP LAN. • Determine the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections to the Integrity iLO MP: RS-232 and LAN. • Configure the Integrity iLO MP and assign an IP address if necessary. Though there are several methods to configuring the LAN, HP recommends DHCP with DNS. DHCP with DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. Other options include the following: - ARP-Ping - Local console serial port (RS-232) - Remote/modem port Determining the Physical iLO MP Access Method Before you can access the iLO MP, you must determine the correct physical connection method. The iLO MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating system. See your server installation guide for rear panel console connection port identification and cable connection information. Table 3-2 lists the appropriate connection method, required connection components, and connectors to the host console. Use Table 3-2 to determine your physical connection method.

Preparing to Set Up iLO MP
Perform the following tasks before you configure the iLO MP LAN.
•
Determine the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections
to the Integrity iLO MP: RS-232 and LAN.
•
Configure the Integrity iLO MP and assign an IP address if necessary. Though there are
several methods to configuring the LAN, HP recommends DHCP with DNS. DHCP with
DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. Other options include the following:
—
ARP-Ping
—
Local console serial port (RS-232)
—
Remote/modem port
Determining the Physical iLO MP Access Method
Before you can access the iLO MP, you must determine the correct physical connection method.
The iLO MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN
drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating system.
See your server installation guide for rear panel console connection port identification and cable
connection information.
Table 3-2
lists the appropriate connection method, required connection components, and
connectors to the host console. Use
