Installing the Compaq Remote Insight

The Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition is a PCI-based, single-board
computer that contains a built-in processor and fully supports keyboard,
mouse, and PCI video functions. With the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition
installed in the ProLiant DL320 server, you can use a standard Web browser
and Compaq Insight Manager to access and remotely manage your server from
any console on the network, regardless of the state of the host operating
system.

with the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition, you can do the following:
■ Remotely access the console of the host server, including all text- and
graphics-mode screens with full keyboard and mouse controls
■ Remotely power on, power off, or reboot the host server
■ Remotely boot the host server from a diskette drive installed in a
network client
■ Access the Compaq Insight Management Agents on a host server
through the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition
■ Receive alerts from the Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition,
regardless of the state of the host server operating system
■ Access advanced troubleshooting features provided by the Compaq
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition
■ Launch a Web browser, use Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) alerting, and manage the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition
with Compaq Insight Manager
