ProLiant p-Class Advanced Management
iLO Advanced is a standard component of ProLiant p-Class server blades that
provides server health and remote server blade manageability. Its features are
accessed from a network client device using a supported web browser. In
addition to other features, iLO Advanced provides keyboard, mouse, and video
(text and graphics) capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host
OS or host server blade.
iLO includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated
network interface. This design makes iLO independent of the host server blade
