Exit iLO RBSU.

HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP cannot be used, use the
following procedure to disable DNS/DHCP and to configure the IP address and the subnet mask:

1.

Restart or power up the server.

2.

Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.

3.

Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User
Accounts
, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default
Network Settings tag.

4.

Select Network, DNS/DHCP, press the Enter key, and then select DHCP Enable. Press the
spacebar to turn off DHCP. Be sure that DHCP Enable is set to Off and save the changes.

5.

Select Network, NIC and TCP/IP, press the Enter key, and type the appropriate information in
the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address fields.

6.

Save the changes. The iLO system automatically resets to use the new setup when you exit iLO RBSU.

USB support

HP provides both standard USB support and legacy USB support. Standard support is provided by the
operating system through the appropriate USB device drivers. HP provides support for USB devices prior
to the operating system loading through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system
ROM. HP hardware supports USB version 2.0.

Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is normally not
available. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality at:

POST

RBSU

Diagnostics

DOS

Environments which do not support USB natively

Diagnostic tools

Survey Utility

Survey Utility, a feature within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

87

), gathers critical hardware and

software information on ProLiant servers.

This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems
supported by the server, refer to the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/supportos

).

If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks the previous
information and overwrites the Survey text files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.

Survey Utility is installed with every SmartStart-assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP
("
