Use iLO language packs to switch between English and another supported language.

Control iLO by using a remote management tool.

iLO web interface

The iLO web interface groups similar tasks for easy navigation and workflow. The interface is
organized in a navigational tree view located on the left side of the page. The top-level branches
are Information, iLO Federation, Remote Console, Virtual Media, Power Management, Network,
Remote Support, and Administration. If you have a ProLiant server blade, the BL c-Class branch is
included. When a remote management tool is used with iLO, the <Remote Management Tool
Name> page is included.

When using the iLO web interface, note the following:

Each high-level iLO branch has a submenu that you can display by clicking the + icon to the
left of that branch. Each menu topic displays a page title that describes the information or
settings available on that page. The page title might not reflect the name that is displayed on
the menu option.

Assistance for all iLO pages is available from the iLO help pages. To access page-specific
help, click the ? icon on the upper right side of the page.

Typical administrator tasks are available from the iLO Federation, Network, Remote Support,
Administration, and <Remote Management Tool Name> branches of the iLO web interface.
These tasks are described in

“Setting up iLO” (page 17)

and

“Configuring iLO” (page 36)

.

Typical user tasks are available from the Information, Remote Console, Virtual Media, Power
Management, iLO Federation, and BL c-Class branches of the iLO web interface. These tasks
are described in

“Using iLO” (page 144)

.

For more information about iLO functionality and integration, see the following:

“Integrating HP Systems Insight Manager” (page 247)

ROM-based configuration utilities

Depending on your server model, you can use iLO RBSU or the iLO 4 Configuration Utility to
configure network parameters, global settings, and user accounts. On servers that support UEFI,
such as the HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 server, use the iLO 4 Configuration Utility in the UEFI System
Utilities. On all other servers, use iLO RBSU.

iLO RBSU and the iLO 4 Configuration Utility are designed for the initial iLO setup, and are not
intended for continued iLO administration. You can start these utilities when the server is booted,
and you can run them remotely with the Remote Console.

To determine whether your server supports iLO RBSU or the iLO 4 Configuration Utility, see your
server documentation.

You can configure iLO to require users to log in when they access these utilities, or you can disable
the utilities for all users. These settings can be configured in the iLO access options. Disabling iLO
RBSU or the iLO 4 Configuration Utility prevents reconfiguration from the host unless the iLO Security
Override Switch is set. For more information, see

“Configuring access options” (page 57)

.

To access the ROM-based configuration utilities:

iLO RBSU—Press F8 during POST to enter iLO RBSU.

iLO 4 Configuration Utility—Press F9 during POST to enter the UEFI System Utilities, and then
select System Configuration

→iLO 4 Configuration Utility.
