Installation Guide, First Edition: HP Lights Out Advanced / KVM Card

1 Overview

The Lights Out Advanced / KVM Card (LOA) is a PCI-X card that you install into any

sx2000–based HP Integrity server.

The LOA card enables the advanced virtual graphical console (known as vKVM, for virtual

keyboard, video and mouse) and virtual CD/DVD/ISO image file (known as vMedia) features of

the Integrity Lights Out Management Processor (known as the iLO MP).

The LOA card is also a KVM card that offers physical video functionality for servers running

Windows, and USB functionality for servers running HP-UX, Windows, and OpenVMS.

All Lights Out Advanced features are fully enabled on the LOA card—there is no additional

“advanced pack” license to purchase. At present, vKVM is only available for servers running

Windows and vMedia is available for servers running HP-UX, Windows, and OpenVMS.

The LOA card is not currently supported under Linux.
