Integrated Lights-Out technology

Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that
provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO subsystem includes
an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface.
This design makes iLO independent of the host server and its operating system. The
iLO subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts,
and provides other server management functions.

Using iLO, you can:

• Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server
• Send alerts from iLO, regardless of the state of the host server
• Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO interface
• Diagnose iLO using HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) through a Web

browser and SNMP alerting

For more information about iLO features, refer to the Integrated Lights-Out User
Guide
on the Documentation CD or on the HP website at
