The Options tab includes the following.
DescriptionsDefault valueParameter
This setting specifies the interval of user inactivity, in minutes, before
the web server and Remote Console session automatically terminate.
30 minutesIdle Connection Timeout
(minutes)
The following settings are valid: 15, 30, 60, 120 minutes, or 0
(infinite). The infinite timeout value does not log out inactive users.
This setting enables connection to iLO 2. If disabled, all connections
to iLO 2 are prevented.
EnabledLights-Out Functionality
The iLO 2 10/100 network and communications with operating system
drivers are turned off if Lights-Out functionality is disabled. The iLO 2
Diagnostic Port for an HP ProLiant BL p Class server is also disabled.
If iLO 2 functionality is disabled (including the iLO 2 Diagnostic Port),
you must use the server Security Override Switch to enable iLO 2. See
your server documentation to locate the Security Override Switch and
set it to Override. Power the server on and use the iLO 2 RBSU to set
Lights-Out Functionality to Enabled.
This setting enables or disables the iLO 2 ROM-Based Setup Utility.
Normally, the iLO2 Option ROM prompts you to press F8 to enter

RBSU, but if iLO 2 is disabled or iLO 2 RBSU is disabled, the RBSU
prompt is bypassed.
This setting enables RBSU access with or without a user-credentials
challenge. If this setting is Enabled and you press F8 during POST to
enter iLO 2 RBSU, a login dialog box appears.

configuration must be set to No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit
(N/8/1) for proper operation. The serial port speed that is set by this
parameter must match the speed of the serial port set in the System
ROM RBSU setup.

a user password is set or changed. The character length can be set at
a value from 0 to 39.
