Shared NIC DL100 Configuration
The system NIC ports are shared with
LO100i for management.
Dedicated NIC DL100 Configuration
A management network can be
employed by adding an optional
dedicated NIC through a mezzanine
card. The management network is
physically separated from the system
network.
IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0
ProLiant 100-series G7 servers and LO100i are architected with IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 standards so
that customers in heterogeneous environments can manage these servers with either industry standard.
The following are basic compliance mandates:
 The implementation of all mandatory IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 in-band and out-of-band commands
 Reliable Local and Remote Power on/off/reset through IPMI Chassis commands
 According to IPMI 2.0, console redirection over telnet or SSH
 Server identification by device ID, globally unique identifier (GUID), asset tag, and chassis ID
 Accurate System Event Logging using IPMI
 Reliable in-band keyboard controller style (KCS) interface and out-of-band LAN interface

Server deployment
Prior to G7, ProLiant AMD 100-series server administrators could not deploy servers using methods
similar to those for ProLiant 300 series servers. The Easy Set-up CD for 100-series G7 servers now
provides a user experience similar to SmartStart with deployment tools that reduce the time required
for server setup and updates.
Easy Set-up CDs and their ISO images are provided with each ProLiant G7 100-series server and are
used to perform assisted installations for one or two servers. Users performing multi-server installations
involving large numbers of servers require the following deployment tools:
 Software Smart Components — Self-executable software consisting of driver and software
 SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (DL100s) — Automated scalable deployment utility
