ProLiant p-Class Advanced management
RILOE Advanced is a standard component of ProLiant p-Class server blades that
provides server health and remote server blade manageability. Its features are
accessed from a network client device using a supported web browser. In
addition to other features, RILOE Advanced provides keyboard, mouse, and
video (text and graphics) capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of
the host OS or host server blade.
RILOE includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated
network interface. This design makes RILOE independent of the host server
blade and its OS. RILOE provides remote access to any authorized network
