AB500A HP Integrity iLO Advanced Pack Key and License

AB500A is the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Advanced Pack activation key and license, version 1, for the HP Integrity rx1620, the HP Integrity rx2620 and the HP Integrity rx4640. It is a firmware license: it installs on the Management Processor Card of the server and adds remote management capabilities to the card.

The Advanced Pack adds LDAP directory services, SSH security and Group Actions with HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). The Management Processor Card itself supplies the base console functions: a dedicated 10/100Base-T LAN port for LAN console and embedded web console access, password protected console ports, console mirroring between local, modem, LAN and web consoles, remote power up and power down, configurable remote access control, and Secure Sockets Layer security on the web console.

The card requirement differs by server. On the rx1620 the Management Processor Card is a separate option and a prerequisite for the Advanced Pack license; it is required for Windows configurations. On the rx2620 the card is required for Windows orders and recommended for HP-UX and OpenVMS. On the rx4640 the Management Processor Card is part of the integrated core I/O, and the AB500A license installs on that integrated card.

The card also provides basic graphics through an integrated Radeon 7000 2D graphics chip with a VGA port on the rear of the server. The HP Integrity rx3600 uses the version 2 pack, AD301A, with its iLO 2 management processor.
