HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide

Getting Started
Determining the Integrated Administrator’s Initial
IP Address
HP recommends that you connect a local client device, such as a laptop computer, to
the console (serial) connector in order to determine the initial IP address used by the
network to recognize the Integrated Administrator. After using that IP address to
access the Integrated Administrator locally using the console (serial) connector, you
can use the Integrated Administrator default values to complete the initial
configuration.
The organization of this section reflects this process:

Requirements for Local Client Devices
You can access the Integrated Administrator locally using the serial connector on the
rear panel of the enclosure using a local client device, such as a laptop computer.
The local client device must run a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal for
Windows systems or Kermit for Linux systems.
The terminal emulator must operate at the following settings:
Bits per second: 9600
Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: none
Emulation: VT100
Backspace key sends Ctrl-H
