Configuring LO100 with the LO100CFG utility
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that delivers unattended
automated installation for high volume ProLiant server installations. Available in Win32 and
Linux editions, the Toolkit supports ProLiant DL and ML 300, 500, 700 and ProLiant BL servers
in both Windows and Linux environments and now includes limited ProLiant 100 series support.
The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how
to apply these new tools to build an automated server deployment process.
The toolkit contains an important tool for high volume LO100 configuration and deployment
the LO100CFG utility. Using this and other configuration tools in the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit
will allow allow rapid, scripted installation of LO100 and other 100 series configurations. See

POST (power-on self test) remotely, access the server through a web browser, and access the
BIOS Setup Utility remotely.
To configure network access:
1.
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the LO100 NICto a network jack.
2.
Press the F10 key to access BIOS.
3.
Obtain the DHCP IP address.
•
If you are using ML110 G6 or DL120 G6:
a.
Press the right arrow (
→) key to scroll to the Advanced tab, and then scroll down
to IPMI. Press the Enter key.
b.
Click LAN Settings, and then click Set IP Address Assignment to DHCP.
•
If you are using or ML150 G6, press the right arrow (
→) key to scroll to the Advanced
tab, and then scroll down to IPMI.
•
If you are using DL160 G6, DL160se G6, DL170h G6, DL180 G6, SL160z G6, SL170z G6,
SL2x170z G6, SL 170s G6 servers, or DL165 or SL 165 G7 servers, press the right arrow

Alternatively, you can perform one of the following methods:
•
Look at the DHCP clients table.
•
Look at the DNS client records for an entry of LO100<serial server number>. (The default
DNS host name for each LO100 is unique.)
By default, LO100 has DHCP enabled and automatically negotiates an IP address.
4.
With the DHCP IP address, use Telnet to log in to the remote management CLP, or use a
web browser to access the HTML interface.
To set up a static IP address, see "Setting up a static IP address from the BIOS Setup Utility".
