iLO 2 browser interface overview
The iLO 2 browser interface groups similar tasks for easy navigation and workflow. These tasks
are organized under high-level tabs across the top of the iLO 2 interface. These tabs appear on
the browser interface and include System Status, Remote Console, Virtual Media, Power
Management, and Administration.
Each high-level iLO 2 tab has a menu on the left side of the interface with various options. When
you select a different high-level tab, the menu changes, and displays the options available from
that tab. Each menu option displays a page title, which is a description of the information or settings
available on that page. This page title might not reflect the name that appears on the menu option.
Assistance for all iLO 2 pages is available from iLO 2 Help. Links on each iLO 2 page provide
summary information about the features of iLO 2 and helpful information to optimize its operation.
To access page-specific help, click the question mark (?) on the right side of the browser window.
Typical user tasks are found under the System Status, Remote Console, Virtual Media, and Power
Management tabs of the iLO 2 interface. These tasks are described in “Using iLO 2” (page 74).
The Administration tab is typically used by an advanced or administrative user who must manage
users, configure global and network settings, as well as configure or enable the more advanced
functions of iLO 2. These tasks are discussed in “Setting up iLO 2” (page 17) and “Configuring
iLO 2” (page 24).
