4.5.2 Preparing HP ProLiant DL160 G5 Nodes
Use the BIOS Setup Utility to configure the appropriate settings for an HP XC system on HP
ProLiant DL160 G5 servers.
For this hardware model, you cannot set or modify the default console port password through
the BIOS Setup Utility, as you can for other hardware models. The HP XC System Software
Installation Guide describes how to modify the console port password. You are instructed to
perform the task just after the discover command discovers the IP addresses of the console
ports.
Figure 4-2 shows the rear view of the HP ProLiant DL160 G5 server and the appropriate port
assignments for an HP XC system.

The callouts in the figure enumerate the following:
1. This port is used for the connection to the Console Switch. On the back of the node, this port
is marked with LO100i.
2. This port is used for the connection to the Administration Switch (branch or root). On the
back of the node, this port is marked with the number 1 (NIC1).
3. If a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interconnect is configured, this port is used for the interconnect
connection. Otherwise, it is used for an external connection. On the back of the node, this
port is marked with the number 2 (NIC2).
