Integrated Lights-Out provides embedded hardware Graphical Remote Console capabilities that can turn
a supported browser into a virtual desktop, giving the user full control over the display, keyboard, and
mouse of the host server. The operating system-independent console supports graphic modes that display
remote host server activities, such as shutdown and startup operations. It works with a standard browser
and no additional software is required on the remote server or client system. iLO firmware v 1.75 and
later feature mouse enhancements that improve performance using absolute positioning technology.

The USB-based Virtual Media feature allows an IT administrator to boot the remote server using a
standard 1.44-MB diskette on the client machine, a DVD/CD drive or USB flash drive on the client
machine, or the image of a floppy diskette or DVD/CD from anywhere on the client's network. After the
remote server has booted a USB-capable operating system (e.g., Windows® 2000, Windows 2003, or
Red Hat Linux 7.2), the virtual device or ISO 9660 image is available as if it were a local USB device.
The Virtual Media features save time and increase efficiency by eliminating the need to visit the remote
server just to insert and use a diskette or DVD/CD. This feature allows administrators to carry out any of
the following functions remotely from an applet user interface, command line or script.

Integrated Lights-Out Advanced integrates with enterprise-class directory services to provide secure,
scalable, and cost effective user management. Directory services, such as Microsoft Active Directory and
Novell eDirectory, can be used to authorize directory users with assigned user roles to Integrated Lights-
Out processors. With Active Directory, customers have the flexibility to integrate with or without a schema
extension. An easy and reliable installation program is available to install a management console snap-
in and extend customer's existing directory schema to enable directory support for the HP lights-out
management products. A directory migration tool is available to automate setup for both methods of
integration. Firmware version 1.91 and greater also supports the Active Directory nested groups feature.
