Hi Marc, iLO 2 still has the standard remote console web interface (Java applet) and it is even faster and easier when you use Internet Explorer (some type of Active/X thing I think). The remote serial console can be accessed using a web browser, Telnet, or SSH. (Telnet is disabled by default since it is not secure, but you can enable it in the web interface.) A terminal server is not required. Here is a web page that shows the differences between the various iLO models (see the bottom of the page): http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/ilo2/index.html One really cool feature is "Shared network port". This means that the iLO Ethernet traffic can run across the NIC1 link, so that it doesn't require an additional Ethernet port for each server. You can configure an iLO VLAN tag so that the iLO management traffic is kept separate by the ethernet switch. Here's a link to the manuals for iLO: http://tinyurl.com/gcbwx -- John
