• Ensure that the LAN cable is connected properly.
• Ensure that the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card is
connected to the same network as the server iLO 2 MP.
ActiveX Error:
• Open a vMedia session on the server before running
vKVM.

Core I/O Card Configurations
Both the HP Integrity rx7640 8-socket server and the HP rx8640 16-socket server always have at
least one core I/O card (factory installed in I/O chassis 1 in the rx7640, and in I/O chassis 0 in
the rx8640).
• In an rx7640 with only one core I/O card and one Lights-Out Advanced KVM card, you must
install the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card in I/O chassis 1.
• In an rx8640 with only one core I/O card and one Lights-Out Advanced KVM card, you must
install the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card in I/O chassis 0.
• For rx7640 or rx8640 servers with two core I/O cards, you can install the Lights-Out Advanced
KVM card in either I/O chassis (with only one Lights-Out Advanced KVM card per partition).
Table 17 lists examples of unsupported core I/O card configurations with the Lights-Out Advanced
KVM card and possible solutions.
