Setup Brief Overview
Rack a single socket RX2800-i2 with 8x300GB SAS drives (this varies to onsight as they are using a single socket RX2800-i6 which is newer)
2U's of rack sapce
2 power supplies, 2 ethernet, one for server and one for ILO all labelled accordingly along with server and IPs
Connect to ILO via console
Use LC to setup iLO DNS and IP then connect via telnet
Boot VMS from DVD

Setup DNS
search for free IP addresses, 172.20.40.XX for ILO and 172.20.102.XX for server
DNS set ILO 172.20.40.42
DNS set server 172.20.102.31
