remote management user guides.
Server management
HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 delivers basic remote control of vital server resources, supports IPMI 2.0, and
provides system administrators with access to the server at any time, even before an operating system is
installed on the server.
HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 provides text mode console redirection, DMTF SMASH compliant command
line interface, and browser access to many of the same system management functions. You can access
LO100 through a dedicated Ethernet port or through the server serial port.

• Switch between console redirection and the command line using either the dedicated management
or serial port
