Installation Manual

Prerequisites
Configure iLO Settings privilege
Configuring the SNMP alert settings
1. Navigate to the Power Management→Power Settings page.
2. Select a value in the Warning Trigger list.
The warning trigger determines whether warnings are based on peak power consumption,
average power consumption, or if they are disabled.
3. If you selected Peak Power Consumption or Average Power Consumption in the Warning
Trigger list, enter the following:
• Warning Threshold—Sets the power consumption threshold, in watts. If power
consumption exceeds this value for the specified time duration, an SNMP alert is
triggered.
• Duration—Sets the length of time, in minutes, that power consumption must remain
above the warning threshold before an SNMP alert is triggered. When an SNMP alert
is generated, it is based on the power consumption data sampled by iLO. It is not based
on the exact date and time that the Duration value was changed. The maximum duration
is 240 minutes, and the duration must be a multiple of 5.
4. Click Apply.
Configuring the persistent mouse and keyboard
The Other Settings section on the Power Settings page allows you to enable or disable the
persistent keyboard and mouse feature.
When this feature is enabled, the iLO virtual keyboard and mouse are always connected to the
iLO UHCI USB controller. When this feature is disabled, the iLO virtual keyboard and mouse are
connected dynamically to the iLO UHCI controller only when a Remote Console application is
open and connected to iLO. Disabling the feature allows some servers to increase power savings
by 15 watts when the server OS is idle and no virtual USB keyboard and mouse are connected.
For example, the power savings for a 24-hour period might be 15 watts x 24 hours, or 360 watt
hours (.36 kilowatt-hours).
