Enclosure bay IP addressing
The First Time Setup Wizard prompts you to set up your enclosure bay IP addressing. For more
information about the wizard, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
Dynamic Power Capping for server blades
Dynamic Power Capping is an iLO feature available for c-Class server blades, and is accessed
through OA. Dynamic Power Capping is available only if your system hardware platform, BIOS
(ROM), and power microcontroller firmware version support this feature. If your system supports
Dynamic Power Capping, iLO automatically runs in Dynamic Power Capping mode.
For information about the power setting options for c-Class server blades, see the HP BladeSystem
Onboard Administrator User Guide.
iLO virtual fan
In c-Class blade servers, OA controls the enclosure fans (also called virtual fans). The iLO firmware
cannot detect these enclosure fans. Instead, the iLO firmware monitors an ambient temperature
sensor located on the blade server. This information is displayed on the iLO web interface, and is
retrieved by OA periodically. OA uses the sensor information collected from all iLO processors in
the enclosure to determine enclosure fan speeds.
iLO option
The iLO - Device Bay <XX> page in OA (Figure 83) provides the following links:
• Web Administration—Starts the iLO web interface
• Integrated Remote Console—Starts the .NET IRC
• Remote Console—Starts the Java IRC
Clicking a link on this page opens the requested iLO session in a new window that uses SSO,
which does not require an iLO user name or password. If your browser settings prevent new
windows from opening, these links do not work correctly.
