Check if the iLO functionality is enabled in BIOS. To do so, reboot the server press F8 during the HP splash screen to launch the iLO RBSU setting, navigate to
Settings > Configure and check if iLO Functionality is set to 'Enabled'. If it is set to enabled, then to enable it, the iLO 4 Security Override Switch. The following steps may be performed:
a. Refer to section '
Component identification > System board components > System maintenance switch' in the server's
maintenance and service guide to help identify the system maintenance switch on the system board.
b. To access the above mentioned switch, power off the server and remove the power cable, remove the chassis panel and locate the system maintenance switch on the system.
c. Set switch S1 from its default "Off" position to the "On" position, replace the chassis panel and then power on the server.
d. There will be a message that a system maintenance switch has been turned on. At this point, power off the server, remove power cable, remove the chassis panel and revert switch S1's position to default "Off" position, replace the chassis panel and power on the server. This procedure would enable iLO functionality to the server. If DHCP is enabled, then iLO should pickup an IP address automatically.
