When you have physical access to a server, you can use the Service Port to do the following:
Download the Active Health System Log to a supported USB flash drive.
When you use this feature, the connected USB flash drive is not accessible by the host operating system.
Connect a client (such as a laptop) with a supported USB to Ethernet adapter to access the following:
iLO web interface
Remote console
iLO RESTful API
CLI
Some servers, such as the XL170r, require an adapter to connect a USB to Ethernet adapter to the iLO Service Port.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the HPE Micro USB to USB Adapter (part number 789904-B21).
When you use the iLO Service Port:
Actions are logged in the iLO event log.
The server UID flashes to indicate the Service Port status.
You can also retrieve the Service Port status by using a REST client and the iLO RESTful API.
You cannot use the Service Port to boot any device within the server, or the server itself.

You cannot access the connected device from the server.
