• Determine the physical access method to select and connect cables.
• Determine the iLO MP LAN configuration method and assign an IP address if necessary.
Determining the Physical iLO MP Access Method
Before you can access the iLO MP, you must first 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.
Figure 1-30 shows the server rear ports. See the HP Integrity and HP 9000 iLO Management Processor
Operations Guide for more information on how to access the iLO MP.
