This article will guide the user on how to configure the Integrated Lights Out (iLO) feature of a G9 Axcient appliance.
The iLO feature is a server management processor available on Axcient appliances that allows the user to control and monitor the appliance from a remote location.
The iLO feature allows the user to remotely reboot, power off or power on an Axcient appliance.
The iLO can be configured at any time but Axcient recommends configuring the iLO during the initial installation as configuration requires physical access to the appliance.
The model type of the appliance is indicated by the first two letters of the serial number:
- BM
- BN
- BP
For the full ILO configuration guide which covers all iLO versions of Axcient appliances, please refer the Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Guide.
