Configuration options
After you have installed RILOE II in the server and completed all necessary peripheral connections,
configure RILOE II.
RILOE II offers two configuration options:
• Remote setup allows you to configure RILOE II from the Remote Console through a browser interface.
• The ROM-based setup utility F8 (RBSU F8) allows you to configure RILOE II during server boot-up.
RBSU F8 is useful for configuring servers that do not use DNS/DHCP. RBSU F8 is available every
time the server is booted. RBSU F8 cannot run remotely.
Regardless of the configuration method you use, familiarize yourself with all the configuration parameters.
Use the user guide to determine what parameters are required to set up RILOE II. Leave parameters set to
default values unless you know the parameter should be changed for your environment. Before starting
RBSU F8, record any required values for your installation.
Some servers contain DIP switches on the system board to control certain security settings. Before
beginning configuration, if the server is equipped with a Configuration Lock Switch, set this switch to off
(unlocked). See the documentation or hood labels that shipped with the server for more information about
the Configuration Lock Switch. When configuration is complete, return the switch to the on (locked)
position.
Remote setup
Remote setup allows you to configure the RILOE II from the Remote Console.
1. Using a standard Web browser, access the RILOE II from a remote network client and provide the
default DNS name, user name, and password on the network settings tag supplied with the board.
2. When you successfully log on to the RILOE II, you will be able to change the default values of the
network and user settings through the Web browser interface of the RILOE II. You will also be able to
install operating system drivers and Insight Manager agents on the remote host server using the
graphical Remote Console.
ROM-Based Setup Utility F8
RBSU F8 allows you to set up the RILOE II during server boot up. However, RBSU is not accessible
through the RILOE II Remote Console. It can only be accessed locally at the server.
1. Restart or power up the server.
2. Press the F8 key to enter RBSU when the cursor flashes and the RILOE II prompt displays on the
screen.
