• The Login Timeout in Minutes feature, shown in the iLO GUI screen below and in the text user
interface (see so command), disables logins after too many login failure attempts occur in a
short timeframe. The login delay protects the iLO from brute force dictionary attacks. The iLO
system administrator can configure the number of login failures allowed (default is 3). This
option is in the TUI's SO command or the GUI's Access Settings page (see below). Once the
fault threshold has been reached, the login process is delayed and an event is placed in the
iLO Event Log (IEL). If the attack persists, a critical event will also be placed in the System Event
Log (SEL).

Presence button less than 4 seconds to reset iLO.
TIP: The UID LED will blink at 4 seconds, and again at 8 seconds. The first blink signals
Physical Presence mode (release the button after the first blink), and the second signals Security
