independently of the Integrated Administrator.

only certified software releases are installed.
Compaq Insight Manager 7 integration
• Compaq Insight Manager™7 identifies the Integrated Administrator as a server blade
“management processor.”
• The Integrated Administrator status is part of the server blade status. If the Integrated
Administrator is degraded, all server blades managed by that Integrated Administrator are
shown as degraded.
• Compaq Insight Manager 7 can capture the Integrated Administrator SNMP traps.
• Compaq Insight Manager 7 and web agents enable the user to launch the Integrated
Administrator web interface.
The Integrated Administrator web interface enables full access and control of the server blades
and enclosure via a browser, including:
Enclosure management

• Graceful enclosure and server blade power shutdown
• Enclosure UID control
Server Blade management
