Default configuration settings are sufficient for typical server operations; however, you can modify
configuration settings as needed. The system prompts you for access to the UEFI System Utilities each time
the system is powered up.
Embedded Diagnostics option
The system BIOS in all ProLiant Gen9 servers includes an Embedded Diagnostics option in the ROM. The
Embedded Diagnostics option can run comprehensive diagnostics of the server hardware, including
processors, memory, drives, and other server components.
For more information on the Embedded Diagnostics option, see the UEFI System Utilities user guide for your
server on the

iLO RESTful API support for UEFI
The ProLiant Gen9 servers include support for a UEFI-compliant System BIOS, along with UEFI System
Utilities and Embedded UEFI Shell preboot environments. ProLiant Gen9 servers also support configuring the
UEFI BIOS settings using the iLO RESTful API, a management interface that server management tools can
use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring of a ProLiant server. The iLO RESTful API uses basic
HTTPS operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and PATCH) to submit or return JSON-formatted data with
iLO web server.
