HPE 686742-001

Dedicated iLO Management Port Kit Module

The HPE 686742-001 Dedicated iLO Management Port Kit Module is an essential accessory for HPE ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 servers, providing a dedicated, out-of-band management port for remote server administration. By offloading management traffic from the primary network interface, this module ensures that administrators can monitor and manage servers independently of the operating system, even during system failures. This kit is particularly beneficial for environments where uptime and remote accessibility are critical, such as data centers and remote offices.

Features

The HPE 686742-001 module is designed to integrate seamlessly with HPE ProLiant DL360p Gen8 servers, offering a dedicated RJ-45 Ethernet port for iLO management. This setup allows IT administrators to access the server's management interface via the iLO web interface, iLO RESTful API, or remote console, independent of the server's main operating system. By isolating management traffic, it enhances security and ensures that management operations do not interfere with regular network traffic. This module is particularly useful in scenarios where servers are located in remote or hard-to-reach locations, as it enables administrators to perform tasks such as firmware updates, system monitoring, and troubleshooting without physical access to the server.

Advanced Options

The HPE 686742-001 Dedicated iLO Management Port Kit Module is engineered for high reliability in mission-critical environments. By providing a dedicated management port, it ensures that administrative tasks do not interfere with regular network operations, thereby maintaining optimal server performance. The module supports various iLO management features,
