Setting up iLO 2 with the browser-based option
If you can connect to iLO 2 on the network with a browser, then use the browser-based setup
method. You can also use this method to reconfigure a previously configured iLO 2.
Access iLO 2 from a remote network client using a supported browser, and provide the default
DNS name, user name, and password. Default DNS name and account information is located on
the iLO 2 Network Settings tag attached to the server containing the iLO 2 management processor.
When you successfully log onto iLO 2, you can change the default values of the local user accounts
by selecting User Administration under the iLO 2 Administration tab.
Activating iLO 2 licensed features with a browser
The Licensing page enables you to view the current license status and enter a key to activate iLO
2 license features. The iLO 2 version and current license information appears in this section. If a
license is installed (including an evaluation license), the license number appears. For more
information about iLO 2 license options, see “Licensing” (page 26).
1. Log into iLO 2 through a supported browser.
2. To display the iLO 2 license activation screen, click Administration>Licensing.
3. Enter the license key. To move between fields, press the Tab key or click inside a field. The
Activation Key field advances automatically as you enter data. To clear the fields and reload
the page, click Licensing.
4. Click Install. The EULA confirmation appears. The EULA details are available on the HP website
at http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out and with the license kit.
5. Click OK.
The advanced features of iLO 2 are now enabled.
