looking at the LEDs on the front panel, and using Table 7.
For more front panel LED information, see “Front Panel LEDs” (page 20).

Powering On the Server Blade
To power on the server blade after it is installed in the enclosure:
1. Ensure the server blade is in standby mode by verifying the Power button LED is amber.
If the Power button LED is green, the server blade has full power.
2. Press the Power button momentarily to power on the server blade.
Accessing the Integrated Lights Out 2 Management Processor
When you install the server blade into the enclosure, you need to access the Integrated Lights Out
2 Management Processor (iLO 2 MP) on the server blade. To access the server blade iLO 2 MP,
use the Onboard Administrator iLO (OA/iLO) port on the rear of the enclosure, or the RS-232 port
on the SUV cable. Use the server blade iLO 2 MP for advanced troubleshooting, diagnostics, and
the initial network configuration of the server blade. There are two methods to access the iLO 2
MP. Each way depends on how your server blade enclosure is set up at installation:
• If the OA iLO port on the enclosure is connected to the local network that has a DHCP server,
your iLO 2 MP IP address is generated by the DHCP server.
To access the iLO 2 MP through a DHCP server, see “Accessing the iLO 2 MP with DHCP
Enabled” (page 40).
• If the enclosure is not connected to a network, you must configure your server through the
serial port on the SUV cable.
To access the iLO 2 MP without a network connection, see “Accessing the iLO 2 MP with No
Network Connection” (page 42).
DHCP is default-enabled on the server blade.
To perform these procedures, the server blade enclosure must be powered on and operating
correctly.
Throughout this procedure, there are references to the OA/iLO and iLO 2 MP:
• OA/iLO refers to the enclosure Onboard Administrator iLO.
• iLO 2 MP refers to the server blade iLO 2 Management Processor.
Accessing the iLO 2 MP with DHCP Enabled
Use this procedure to access the iLO 2 MP using DHCP. This procedure assumes that you have a
DHCP server connected to the same local network as your server blade, and the server blade is
installed into the enclosure. The server blade comes from the factory with DHCP enabled.
1. Use the display panel on the front of the enclosure to get the iLO 2 MP IP address.
The iLO 2 MP IP address is assigned by the DHCP server to the server blade.
