HPE iLO

The iLO 4 subsystem is a standard component of ProLiant servers that simplifies initial server setup,
server health monitoring, power and thermal optimization, and remote server administration. The iLO 4
subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface.
This design makes iLO 4 independent of the host server and its operating system.
iLO 4 enables and manages the Active Health System (on page 103) and also features Agentless
Management. All key internal subsystems are monitored by iLO 4. If enabled, SNMP alerts are sent
directly by iLO 4 regardless of the host operating system or even if no host operating system is installed.

Using iLO 4, you can do the following:
• Access a high-performance and secure Integrated Remote Console to the server from anywhere in
the world if you have a network connection to the server.
• Use the shared .NET Integrated Remote Console to collaborate with up to four server administrators.

• Remotely mount high-performance Virtual Media devices to the server.
• Securely and remotely control the power state of the managed server.
