Integrated Lights-Out may be used to diagnose systems. The Remote Console may be used to monitor
the system for POST error messages, the Integrated Management Log and iLO Event Log record events
useful for diagnostics, Virtual Media (if activated by an iLO Advanced key) may be used to boot and run
System Diagnostics. A new feature with Integrated Lights-Out is the ability to record server "Port 84 POST
Codes" as the system boots. These codes document the progress of the server through the booting
process.

Integrated Lights-Out resides on each ProLiant BL p-class server blade and incorporates new functionality
in its firmware to support the specific modular infrastructure of the ProLiant BL p-class system. The
Integrated Lights-Out allows the p-class blades to be easier to deploy and manage. The new Static IP Bay
Configuration feature further simplifies deployment by automatically assigning IP addresses from a
reserved static pool as blades power on even if DHCP is present.

The Integrated Lights-Out supports all the standard and advanced features on the p-class blade systems.
The p-class blades ship from the factory with the Integrated Lights-Out Advanced feature set enabled,
allowing the administrator to have full use of the robust graphical remote console and virtual media.
Customers have the ability to view the server console at all times, to apply software and firmware updates
remotely, to access troubleshooting information, and to reset the server and watch the entire reboot
sequence from the convenience of a client browser.

For convenient walk-up access or in the event that some portion of the network is down and the
administrator cannot reach the Integrated lights-Out through the network, the p-class blade is equipped
with an "iLO Diagnostic Port" that guarantees access to Integrated Lights-Out. The Integrated Lights-Out
has been designed to provide feedback during the POST process as a blade system does not include a
directly attached monitor. The Integrated Lights-Out blinks the Server Health LED during the boot process
to enable the onsite administrator the results of the POST process.
