HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

2 Ports, buttons, LEDs, and components
The iLO 3 functions are available through the server MP LAN port and the local port. On HP
Integrity server blades, the iLO management LAN port is routed internally to the HP BladeSystem
Onboard Administrator (OA) management LAN.
For locations and descriptions of iLO 3 LEDs, ports, and buttons on your server, see your user
service guide or system specifications.
For more information on the Onboard Administrator for HP server blades, see the c3000 or c7000
Enclosure documentation and The BladeSystem Onboard Administrator documentation.
iLO 3 Physical Presence button
The iLO 3 Physical Presence button enables you to reset iLO 3 and reset the user-specific values
to factory default values. A momentary (4–8 second)s press causes a soft reset of iLO 3 when the
button is released.
NOTE: There is no hard reset for iLO.
IMPORTANT: Physical Presence buttons on all conjoined blades are functional. However, only
the buttons on monarch blades will enable TPM physical presence and iLO 3 security override
modes, and events. Pressing this button on auxiliary blades will only cause a soft reset. A momentary
press (less than 4 seconds) on the monarch blade resets the entire group of iLOs for the nPartition.
The iLO 3 Physical Presence button has multiple functions, depending on the length of time it is
pressed. It enables you to reset iLO, enter TPM physical presence mode, and enter security override
mode.
NOTE: When you use the Physical Presence button to perform an iLO 3 security override, it does
not require powering off, removing a blade, or rebooting your OS.
• A momentary press of the button (less than 4 seconds) resets iLO and clears any security
override or TPM physical presence mode that were initiated by this button.
NOTE: The reset will fail if an iLO firmware upgrade is in process.
NOTE: When you reset iLO, you lose LAN connections immediately.
• A 4–8 second press of the button places the system in physical presence mode for 15 minutes.
NOTE: The physical presence mode will be cleared if, during the 15 minute period, you
press the Physical Presence button for 4 seconds or less.
NOTE: The 15–minute timer will restart if, during the active physical presence mode period,
you press the Physical Presence button for 4–8 seconds.
• An 8–12 second press of this button places iLO into security override mode for 15 minutes.
Security override mode enables you to enter iLO without being challenged for a password,
enabling you to set up users.
NOTE: The security override mode will be cleared if, during the 15 minute period, you press
the Physical Presence button for 4 seconds or less.
NOTE: The 15–minute timer will restart if, during the active security override mode period,
you press the Physical Presence button for 8–12 seconds.
NOTE: iLO 3 does not log out any connected users when the 15–minute security override
mode period ends.
