Integrated Lights-Out 3 technology

The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and

remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,

and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3 independent of the host server and its operating

system. The iLO 3 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and
provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 3, you can:

Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.

Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.

Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface.

Diagnose iLO 3 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.

For more information about iLO 3 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced for

BladeSystem license), see the iLO 3 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website

You want to install a new operating system on a server with an existing operating system.
