iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility

HP recommends using iLO RBSU to configure and set up iLO. iLO RBSU is designed to assist you with setting up iLO on a network; it is not intended for continued administration.

To run iLO RBSU:

1. Restart or power up the server.
2. Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3. Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default Network Settings tag.
4. Make and save any necessary changes to the iLO configuration.
5. Exit iLO RBSU.

HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP cannot be used, use the following procedure to disable DNS/DHCP and to configure the IP address and the subnet mask:

1. Restart or power up the server.
2. Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3. Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default Network Settings tag.
4. Select Network, DNS/DHCP, press the Enter key, and then select DHCP Enable. Press the spacebar to turn off DHCP. Be sure that DHCP Enable is set to Off and save the changes.
5. Select Network, NIC and TCP/IP, press the Enter key, and type the appropriate information in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address fields.
6. Save the changes. The iLO system automatically resets to use the new setup when you exit iLO RBSU.
