1 Overview The LO100c is a Remote Management card for HP ProLiant 100 series servers which allow customers or their service providers to remotely manage ProLiant 100 series servers regardless of the state of the server whether the server is located in the same building, across town, or around the globe. With LO100c, users can acquire complete remote control with Virtual KVM (graphical hardwarebased, remote console). Users can also access the server's serial console, control system power, update system firmware and software, as well as monitor system environmental conditions. The LO100c remote management card can be accessed from a web browser or command line interface. This virtual "at-the-server" functionality means administrators stay in control of remote HP ProLiant 100 series servers.
