Securing Your RILOE Cards

Compaq Remote Lights Out Edition (RILOE) Cards are a PCI based Board designed by Compaq intended to provide remote server manageability from any network client using a standard web browser. The RILOE board provides keyboard, mouse, network, power, and video capability for a server regardless of the state of the host operating system or host server. In order for one to completely understand RILOE's, I believe it's very important for me to cover all aspects of the card. In this paper I will outline the components of the RILOE, detailed features and functionality of the card, pre installation tips, physical installation instructions, physical setup instructions, and initial setup configuration parameters.
