HP X1000 Network Storage Systems - Manual (Page 15)

IMPORTANT:
Only the direct attach and remote management access methods can be used to install the storage
system. After the storage system installation process is complete and the system's IP address has been
assigned, you can then additionally use the remote browser and remote desktop methods to access
the storage system.
• Direct attach — Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly to the storage system. This access
method is mandatory if your network does not have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server.
NOTE:
• The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are not provided with the storage system.
• The X1600 does not include PS/2 ports for connecting a keyboard and mouse. You must use
USB-compatible keyboard and mouse devices with this storage system.
• Remote management — Access the storage system using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 remote man-
agement method:
1. Ensure that a network cable is connected to the iLO 2 port located on the back of the storage
system.
2. Locate the iLO 2 Network Settings tag attached to the storage system and record the default
user name, password, and DNS name.
3. From a remote computer, open a standard Web browser and enter the iLO 2 management
hostname of the storage system.
NOTE:
By default, iLO 2 obtains the management IP address and subnet mask from your
network’s DHCP server. The hostname found on the iLO 2 tag is automatically registered
with your network’s DNS server.
4. Using the default user information provided on the iLO 2 Network Settings tag, log on to the
storage system.
For detailed instructions on using iLO 2, see the HP Integrated Lights–Out 2 user guide.
Power on the server and log on
Power on the server after installing the hardware and connecting the cables. Powering on the server
for the first time initiates the storage system installation process.
