The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card contains a USB device that is viewed by the host OS as if it
were a physical USB device connected to the server. Under the control of the Lights-Out Advanced
KVM card firmware, a virtual USB device can be remotely connected to the host server. When the
virtual media is connected, an OS that is USB-aware loads its standard USB mass storage driver.
Once the USB mass storage driver is loaded, the server OS does not require additional HP drivers
running on the server OS.
Additionally, the host server EFI system firmware is extended to support USB virtual devices, making
virtual media available end-to-end (in a pre-boot environment, through OS loading and while the
OS is operational).
NOTE: The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card must be connected to the same subnet as the MP
LAN to enable vKVM and vMedia functionality.
For information on how to use vMedia, see “Virtual Media” (page 115).
Installing the Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card in a Server
You can install the HP Lights-Out Advanced KVM card into any mode-1 slot in a PCI-X backplane,
or any mode-1 PCI-X slot in a PCI-X/PCIe backplane.
CAUTION: Observe all electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety precautions before attempting this
procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions could cause damage to the server.
CAUTION: You cannot add or replace a Lights-Out Advanced KVM card while the nPartition is
running. You must first shut down the nPartition before adding or replacing the card. For more
information on shutting down nPartitions and powering off hardware components, see your server
documentation.
IMPORTANT: The HP Lights-Out Advanced KVM card requires that your server has the minimum
system firmware installed. To see the firmware versions, go to the HP website at www.hp.com/
go/integrityilo.
Before performing certain iLO 2 functions, verify that you have the supported firmware version
required to carry out the task.
IMPORTANT: The HP Integrity rx8640 and rx7640 midrange servers support only one Lights-Out
Advanced KVM card per partition, and the card must be installed in an I/O chassis with a core
I/O card installed. If you install multiple Lights-Out Advanced KVM cards on one partition, only
the first card that is detected is fully enabled. Subsequent cards will have only USB functionality
enabled.
IMPORTANT: The graphics functionality of the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card also takes
precedence over the A6869B graphics/USB PCI card. If both a Lights-Out Advanced KVM card
and an A6869B card are present on a partition, the A6869B card has only USB functionality
enabled. HP recommends removing the A6869B card if you have both cards installed on a partition.
