Hardware and software link-related issues

iLO uses standard Ethernet cabling, which includes CAT 5 UTP with RJ-45 connectors.
Straight-through cabling is necessary for a hardware link to a standard Ethernet hub. Use a crossover
cable for a direct PC connection.

The default DNS name is displayed on the serial number/iLO information pull tab, and can be
used to locate iLO if you do not know the assigned IP address.

If you are using DHCP, the following information applies:

The iLO management port must be connected to a network that is connected to a DHCP server,
and iLO must be on the network before power is applied. DHCP sends a request soon after
power is applied. If the DHCP request is not answered when iLO first boots, it will reissue the
request at 90-second intervals.

The DHCP server must be configured to provide DNS and WINS name resolution.

In the iLO RBSU, you can press F1 on the Network Autoconfiguration page for advanced
options for viewing the status of iLO DHCP requests.

If you are using a static IP address, the following information applies:

If you have a direct PC connection then you must use a static IP address because no DHCP
server is present on the link.

You can configure iLO to work with a static IP address by using iLO RBSU or the iLO web
interface. For more information, see

“Setting up iLO by using iLO RBSU” (page 16)

or

“Setting

up iLO by using the iLO web interface” (page 21)

.

Login issues

Use the following information when attempting to resolve login issues:

Try using the default account information, which is located on the serial number/iLO information
pull tab.

If you forget your password, it can be reset by an administrator who has the Administer User
Accounts privilege.
