iLO Auxiliary Management Processor (AMP)
The iLO Auxiliary MP is the core management role that exists on every iLO in a multi-blade server
(or nPartition).
The AMP is not the primary customer interface to the iLO or console of the nPar (though the npar
command run on an AMP will identify the blade as an auxiliary blade).
Blade Link
The Blade Link stores the nPartition configuration and nPartition license. The primary use of the
Blade Link is to provide the inter-blade connections for the system CPUs.
How nPartitions are displayed in the Onboard Administrator
To reflect that a blade system has been partitioned, the term “nPar” is appended to the displayed
product name.

nPartition License
The nPartition License is automatically installed on every BL870 i4 and BL890 i4 server. No
additional hardware or user action is required.
