To choose the system console, log in to the iLO MP and enter CO.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main

Each item in the boot options list references a specific boot device and provides a specific
set of boot options or arguments to use when booting the device.
3. To initiate booting using the chosen boot option, press Enter.

To exit the system console and return to the iLO MP Main Menu, press Ctrl+B. To exit the
