Audience assumptions

This document is for the person who installs, administers, and troubleshoots servers and storage systems. HP assumes you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment and trained in recognizing hazards in products with hazardous energy levels.

Server management

The HP ProLiant DL145 G1 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management Processor delivers basic remote control of vital server resources, and supports IPMI 1.5. Throughout this document, you will also see the term "BMC," which is synonymous with remote management processor.

The ProLiant DL145 G1 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management Processor provides system administrators with access to the server at any time, even before an operating system is installed on the server. This remote management processor provides a text mode console redirection, IPMI CLI, and browser access to many of the same IPMI functions. You can access the remote management processor and the management features of the HP ProLiant DL145 G1 Server through a dedicated Ethernet over TCP/IP management port or through the integrated serial port.

Server management features

With the ProLiant DL145 G1 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management Processor, you can:

???Switch between console redirection and the CLI using either the dedicated management or serial port

???Remotely power on and off the server

???Perform warm or cold server reboots

???Remotely monitor server state voltage, fan speed, and system state (S0 or S5)

Using the serial port

The server serial port provides basic serial port functionality and also serves as an interface to the remote management processor. You can share the serial port between the remote management processor and the rest of the system or configure the remote management processor not to use the serial port.

You must configure the remote management processor serial port hardware parameters to work with your respective serial port communications software. Remote management processor serial port configuration is controlled with BIOS Setup.

Sharing the serial port with the remote management processor

The serial port can be configured to work in two different ways:

???Shared???The BIOS enables the serial port as a regular system serial port for use with legacy serial devices, as well as to communicate with the remote management processor.

???Not Shared???The server uses the serial port as a standard system serial port, but remote management processor is prohibited from using the serial port.

To enable or disable the serial port sharing:

1. Power on the server by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.
