The callouts in the figure enumerate the following:
1. The iLO Ethernet port is the connection to the Console Switch.
2. If a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interconnect is configured, this port is used for the interconnect connection.
Otherwise, it is used for an external connection.
3. NIC1 is the connection to the Administration Switch (branch or root).
Setup Procedure
Perform the following procedure from the iLO Setup Utility for each HP ProLiant DL585 node in the HP
XC system:
1. Use the instructions in the accompanying HP ProLiant hardware documentation to connect a monitor,
mouse, and keyboard to the node.
2. Turn on power to the node. Watch the screen carefully during the power-on self-test, and press the
F8 key when prompted to access the Integrated Lights Out Setup Utility.
3. For each node, make the iLO settings listed in Table 3-17.

Create a common iLO user name and password for every node
in the hardware configuration. The password must have a
minimum of 8 characters by default, but this value is
configurable.
The user Administrator is predefined by default, but you
must create your own user name and password. For security
purposes, HP recommends that you delete the Administrator
user.
This user name and password are required to access the console
port with the telnet cp-nodename command.
