Optional Management Processor Card (MP)
The management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for you to
connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, transfer of control (TOC) capabilities, provides console
access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal
subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel which can be used to monitor the
front panel LEDs from a remote location.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the hp
Integrity rx1620 Server main power switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts can be password
protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands.
Multiple users can interact with the management processor. However, all output is mirrored. The
management processor Main Menu permits all users to interact and mirrors output to all users. The console
permits one interactive user at a time and mirrors output to all users accessing those features.

Step 2. If you are installing a new card, remove the MP card blank.
