Browser-Based Setup

Use the browser-based setup method if you can connect to iLO on the network using a browser. You can also use this method to reconfigure a previously configured iLO.

1.Access iLO from a remote network client using a supported Web browser, and provide the default DNS name, user name, and password. Default DNS name and account information is located on the iLO Network Settings tag attached to the server containing the iLO management processor.

When you successfully log onto iLO, you can change the default values of the network, user, and SNMP alerting settings through the Web browser interface.

2.Enter the activation key to enable iLO Advanced features.

If the iLO Advanced features are licensed, you can deploy your operating system using the Virtual Floppy Drive and install operating system drivers and Insight Manager agents on the remote host server using the graphical Remote Console.

For ProLiant BL p-Class servers, iLO Advanced functionality is already enabled and cannot be disabled.
