Integrating Hp Console Switches And Hp Lights-Out Technology - HP 16-port SCS Installation Instructions Manual

Integrating HP console switches and HP Lights-Out
technology
HP console switches, Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE), RILOE II, and Integrated Light-Out (iLO)
all support remote KVM console control of a managed server. HP Lights-Out technology uses an
autonomous management processor (in the server) running off auxiliary power to provide users with
remote KVM control of server functions, including system boot and power down. The HP IP Console
provides remote KVM access to all the servers, while iLO Standard provides virtual power to those
servers that support it. Table 4 indicates key differences between the HP IP Console Switch and HP
Lights-Out technology.
