3. Click Launch.
The OA web interface starts in a new browser window.
Toggling the enclosure UID LED
To change the state of the enclosure UID LED where iLO is located, click the Toggle UID button.
The UID LED status on this page represents the enclosure UID LED status when the iLO page
loaded. To update the status, refresh the page.
Enclosure bay IP addressing
The First Time Setup Wizard prompts you to set up your enclosure bay IP addressing. For more
information about the wizard, see the OA user guide.
Dynamic Power Capping for server blades
Dynamic Power Capping is an iLO feature available for c-Class server blades, and is accessed
through OA. Dynamic Power Capping is available only if your system hardware platform, BIOS
(ROM), and power microcontroller firmware version support this feature. If your system supports
Dynamic Power Capping, iLO automatically runs in Dynamic Power Capping mode.
For information about the power setting options for c-Class server blades, see the OA user guide.
iLO virtual fan
In c-Class blade servers, OA controls the enclosure fans (also called virtual fans). The iLO
firmware cannot detect these enclosure fans. Instead, the iLO firmware monitors an ambient
temperature sensor on the blade server. This information is displayed in the iLO web interface,
and OA retrieves it periodically. OA uses the sensor information collected from all iLO processors
in the enclosure to determine enclosure fan speeds.
iLO option
The iLO - Device Bay <XX> page in OA provides the following links:
Web Administration—Starts the iLO web interface
Integrated Remote Console—Starts the .NET IRC
Remote Console—Starts the Java IRC
Clicking a link on this page opens the requested iLO session in a new window that uses SSO,
which does not require an iLO user name or password. If your browser settings prevent new
windows from opening, these links do not work correctly.
