Administrator's Guide

1. Connect a system (the configuration system) in the environment or a laptop to the EMU port
(Figure 9 (page 18)). You can use either a crossover or a regular Ethernet cable.

2. Configure the networking properties for the local system:
a. Open Control Panel, select Network Sharing Center or Network Connections, and navigate
to Local Area Connections.
b. Select Properties→Internet Protocol, and then select Properties.
c. If Use the following IP address: is selected, record values for the following items and
restore them after completing the EMU and iLO setup:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
d. Enter the following values:
• IP address: 10.0.0.20
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
e. Before continuing, ping the following IP addresses to test connectivity to the EMU and
the iLO located in each of the servers: 10.0.0.10, 10.0.0.11, and 10.0.0.12. The EMU
and iLO interfaces have been assigned IP addresses during factory setup. You must either
update the factory values with site-specific static IP addresses or configure the management
processors to use DHCP IP addressing.
3. Configure iLO on the server blades:
a. Open a web browser and log in to iLO using the address: http://10.0.0.11. You
are prompted to enter the user name and password. The password for the Administrator
account is located on a tear-away label on the back of the server blade (Figure 11
(page 19)).
After you have logged into iLO, HP recommends that you change the administrator
password. To do so, select User Administration under Administration in the iLO
management interface.
b. Configure the network as required for your environment. Select Network under
Administration in the iLO management interface. You can either enable DHCP or edit the
IP address details and enter site-specific network settings. Click Apply to save your settings.
c. Repeat the process on the other server blade. Open a web browser and log in to iLO
using the address: http://10.0.0.12.
