Remote Console Management
The Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition is a PCI-based board that enables server
management by remote access regardless of the state of the host server operating system or the
host CPU. The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition sends alerts and performs other functions even
if the host server operating system is not responding. For installation information and features,
refer to the documentation that ships with the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition, and the
Compaq ProLiant DL320 Setup and Installation Guide.
Each server deployed in a fully populated rack with a remote console management system
requires the following accessories for successful deployment and operation:
• Rack Rail kit (standard fixed rail solution, Sliding Rail and Cable Management Solution, or
Third-Party Rack Cabinet solution)
• Remote Insight Board, Lights-Out Edition
• An RJ45 cable for the Remote Insight Board
• One or two RJ45 cables for NIC 1 and NIC 2
Planning Rack Configurations
Consider several important factors when planning a rack configuration:
• The number of servers deployed in the rack
• The number of other devices such as keyboards, keyboard drawers, video displays, and
console switchboxes that support the servers
• The number of PDUs and their orientation
• The type of rack
• The rack management system
• The console management system
All of these factors influence floor support requirements, future service and upgrade
requirements, and installation requirements.
