1. Install a server blade in bay 1 of the BL p-Class enclosure. The server blade does not need to
be configured or have an operating system installed. The server blade must be configured
before installing any additional blades in the enclosure.
2. Connect a client device to the front-panel iLO 2 port of the blade using the local I/O cable.
The local I/O cable connects to the I/O port on the front of the server blade. This connection
enables the static IP 192.168.1.1 for the iLO 2 Web interface.
3. Configure the enclosure setting. Using the iLO 2 Web interface, select the BL p-Class tab to
access the Enclosure Static IP Settings. The BL p-Class tab provides a user interface for
configuring the enclosure-level static IP addresses.
4. Select a reasonable starting IP address, with the last digit(s) of the address corresponding to
the bay number of each blade (example: 192.168.100.1 through 192.168.100.16), to
build an easy-to-remember numbering system.
5. Reset bay #1, if necessary. The blade in bay #1 must only be reset if you intend the blade to
use a Static IP bay Configuration address by marking the feature enable mask for bay #1.
Before resetting the blade, browse to the Network Settings page, select Enable Static IP Settings
and click Apply to force the blade to reboot and use the newly assigned enclosure static IP.
If multiple enclosures are deployed at the same time, the process can be repeated easily by moving
a single blade to bay #1 of each enclosure to perform the configuration.
Configuring static IP bay settings
Static IP bay settings are available on the BL p-Class tab and enable you to configure and deploy
the blade server. When configuring these settings, you must use the blade in bay 1.
The Enable Static IP Bay Configuration Settings checkbox, available on the Network Settings tab
(not shown), allows you to enable or disable Static IP Bay Configuration. The new Enable Static
IP Bay Configuration Settings option is only available on blade servers. When Static IP Bay
Configuration is enabled, all fields except iLO 2 Subsystem Name are disabled. Only Static IP
Bay Configuration or DHCP can be enabled at one time. Disabling both Static IP Bay Configuration
and DHCP signals iLO 2 to use a user-defined IP address. The Enable Static IP Bay Configuration
Settings option remains disabled if the infrastructure does not support Static IP Bay Configuration.
ProLiant BL p-Class standard configuration parameters
Beginning IP Address (Bay 1) – Assigns the starting IP address. All IP addresses must be valid
addresses.
