Features
Integrated Lights-Out offers the following features:
■ Virtual Graphical Remote Console
Graphical remote console capability is provided by iLO embedded
hardware that turns a standard browser into a virtual desktop, giving the
user full control over the host server’s display, keyboard, and mouse.
The operating system independent console supports text and graphic
modes, displaying remote host server activities, such as shutdown and
startup operations. Text mode is standard. Graphics mode is available
as a separate option.
■ Virtual Power Button
Using any standard browser interface, iLO can be used to remotely
operate a host server’s power button. For example, if the host server is
off, you can turn it on from a remote console.
■ Power Cycle (Reset)
If the remote host server is not responding, this feature allows an
administrator to initiate a cold reboot to bring the server back online.
