• UID Light – Displays the state of the UID light when the page was loaded. You can control the
UID state using the Turn UID On button in addition to the physical UID buttons on the server
chassis.
The UID helps you identify and locate a system, especially in high-density rack environments.
Additionally, the UID indicates that a critical operation is underway on the host, such as
Remote Console access or firmware update.
CAUTION: Never remove power from a server with a flashing UID.
The current state of the UID (on or off) is the last state chosen using one of these methods. If
a new state is chosen while the UID is blinking, the new state becomes the current state and
takes effect when the UID stops blinking. While the UID is blinking, the current state of the
UID is shown along with the tag flashing. When the UID stops blinking, the tag is removed.
The UID is not supported on the HP ProLiant ML310 G3.
• Last Used Remote Console – Displays the previously launched remote console and its
availability, which enables you to quickly launch your preferred Remote Console. You can
use the Remote Console if it is available and you have the appropriate user privilege. You
can pick a different console by following the Last Used Remote Console link.
• Latest IML Entry – Displays the most recent entry in the IML.
• iLO 2 Name – Displays the name assigned to the iLO 2 subsystem. By default, this is the word
iLO added to the system serial number. This value is used for the network name and must be
unique.
• License Type – Displays whether the system has a feature license installed and is a link to
Administration>Licensing. Some features of iLO 2 cannot be accessed unless licensed.
• iLO 2 Firmware Version – Displays information about the version of iLO 2 firmware currently
installed and is a link to the iLO 2 Release Notes page which highlights new capabilities in
the current firmware release and in selected previous releases
• IP Address – Displays the network IP address of the iLO 2 subsystem and is a link to
Administration>Network Settings.
• Active Sessions – Displays all users currently logged in to iLO 2.
• Latest iLO 2 Event Log Entry – Displays the most recent entry in the iLO 2 Event Log.
• iLO 2 Date – Displays the date (MM/DD/YYYY) as indicated by the iLO 2 subsystem internal
calendar. The iLO 2 internal calendar is synchronized with the host system at POST and when
the Insight Agents run.
• iLO 2Date/Time – Displays the iLO 2 subsystem internal clock. The iLO 2 internal clock is
synchronized with the host system at POST and when the Insight Agents run.
System Information Summary
System Information displays the health of the monitored system. Many of the features necessary to
operate and manage the components of the HP ProLiant server have migrated from the health
driver to the iLO 2 microprocessor. These features are available without installing and loading the
health driver for the installed operating system. The iLO 2 microprocessor monitors these devices
when the server is powered on during server boot, operating system initialization, and operation.
Monitoring continues through an unexpected operating system failure. To access System Information,
click System Status>System Information. The System Health Summary tab appears. System
Information also displays the following embedded health tabs: “Fans” (page 76), “Temperatures”
(page 76), “Power” (page 77), “Processors” (page 77), “Memory” (page 77), and “NIC” (page
77).
The Summary tab displays the state of monitored host-platform subsystems status at a glance,
summarizing the condition of the monitored subsystems, including overall status and redundancy
