Server management
The HP ProLiant ML110 Generation 2 Lights-Out 100 Remote Management Processor delivers basic
remote control of vital server resources and supports IPMI 2.0. Throughout this document, you will also
see the term "BMC," which is synonymous with remote management processor.
The ProLiant ML110 G2 Lights-Out 100 Remote Management Processor provides system administrators
with access to the server at any time, even before an operating system is installed on the server. This
remote management processor provides a text mode console redirection, IPMI CLP, and browser access to
many of the same IPMI functions. You can access the remote management processor and the management
features of the HP ProLiant ML110 G2 Server through a dedicated Ethernet port over a TCP/IP
management port or the integrated serial port.
