HP Integrity rx2600 server and HP workstation zx6000 Operation and Maintenance Guide 43

System Configuration

■ PCI interface. The PCI interface connects the PCI bus with the iLO MP. This interface

emulates three 16550-style UARTs and part of the iLO MP card.

■ I

C bus. The I

C bus of the iLO MP provides communication with the BMC.

■ Service LAN. Network access is provided by a 10/100 BT LAN connection on a RJ-45

connector and its associated LEDs, which are located on the iLO MP card. An I

C 8K serial

EEPROM supports MAC address storage.

NOTE: The iLO MP card can be installed on servers with or without an AGP graphics card. If an

AGP graphics card is not installed, the iLO MP card VGA port serves as the EFI console and the

OS monitor. If an AGP graphics card is installed, the AGP graphics card serves as the EFI

console and the OS monitor.

Accessing the iLO MP

You can access the iLO MP card and enter iLO MP commands using any of the following:

■ Serial console port

■ LAN connection

■ Modem connected to RS-232 port

NOTE: The iLO MP screens and commands vary depending on the iLO MP firmware version

installed on the server. The iLO MP firmware revision number is listed on the iLO MP login

screen. Make note of the version number before proceeding.

a. Connect the 25-pin end of a serial cable to the iLO MP card 25-pin serial console port,

on the rear panel of the server.

b. Connect the console connector on the serial cable to your remote device.

2. Configure the terminal emulation software with these settings:

❏ Terminal emulation: VT100+

❏ Baud rate: 9600

NOTE: The EFI baud command does not change the iLO MP card serial console port speed.
