BIG-IP Software on the Hewlett-Packard ProLiant BL20p Blade Server System
BIG-IP® Platform Guide for the Hewlett-Packard® ProLiant BL20p Blade Server System 1 - 7
The Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) control panel is the central management
program used by the ProLiant p-Class system. This program allows you to
select a target server blade and load the BIG-IP software using the PXE
server. The program offers both a web and a command line interface.
Note
The following instructions assume that you have already assigned an IP
address or DNS name to the Integrated Lights-Out control panel. If you
have not done this, see the Compaq ProLiant Integrated Lights-Out User
Guide, included with your system, for further instruction.
Using the cable connector
You can establish a network connection to the server blade using the
Integrated Lights-Out cable connector, a "Y" cable shipped with every
Hewlett-Packard ProLiant p-Class System. The cable connector attaches to
the iLO diagnostic port on the front of the server blade. See Figure 1.2.
If you are using the cable connector, you may open the web interface and
the command line interface.

Using the management connector
You can also establish a network connection to the server blade using the
Ethernet management connector. The management connector is a 10/100
Ethernet interface on the patch panel at the back of the chassis (see Figure
1.3 on page 1-8). If you are using the management connector, you may open
the web interface and the command line interface.
