HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation Overview
ProLiant Onboard Administrator (Integrated Lights-Out 2) for ProLiant
server blades
HP BladeSystem c-Class employs ProLiant Onboard Administrator (iLO 2) to configure, update, and
operate individual server blades remotely. The c7000 enclosure includes an Ethernet management
network to aggregate all ProLiant Onboard Administrator (iLO 2) management communications
across the entire enclosure. This management network connects ProLiant Onboard Administrator
(iLO 2) processors to the BladeSystem Onboard Administrator through the BladeSystem Onboard
Administrator tray, as illustrated in Figure 4. The BladeSystem Onboard Administrator provides direct
access to each ProLiant Onboard Administrator (iLO 2) through the enclosure management network.
The BladeSystem Onboard Administrator uses this network to manage pooled enclosure power and
cooling, which results in substantial energy savings over the same number of individual rack-mounted
servers.

Insight Display

The Insight Display, Figure 5, is an ever-ready, enclosure-mounted information exchange device with
access to all BladeSystem Onboard Administrator setup, management, and troubleshooting features. It
is a quick and easy-to-use device that allows technicians to initially configure the enclosure. It also
provides information about the health and operation of the enclosure. The Insight Display is effective
mechanically because it is large enough to see ample information, and it can slide back and forth to
allow access to the power supplies.
Figure 5. Insight Display on the c7000 enclosure
When the c7000 enclosure is initially powered on, the enclosure UID LED and the Insight Display are
illuminated blue to identify the enclosure being configured. The Insight Display automatically launches
an installation wizard to guide the user through the configuration process. After the enclosure is
configured, the Insight Display verifies that there are no installation or configuration errors. The
Installation Wizard turns off the enclosure UID when the installation is complete.
When an error or alert condition is detected, the Insight Display Health Summary screen displays the
total number of error conditions and their locations in the order of error severity (Figure 6). Failure
alerts (if any exist) display first and then caution alerts. Providing this level of diagnostic information
for each enclosure dramatically shortens setup, repair, and troubleshooting time.
For example, in Figure 6 the Insight Display diagnostic screen reports an error in power supply bay
5. The Health Summary screen shows the power supply in bay 5 as red. When the technician selects
View Alert, the Device Error Summary screen indicates the same condition. The Device Error detail in
the third screen shows that the power supply in bay 5 has failed. When the technician selects fix on
