iLO ROM-based utilities
You can use ROM-based utilities to configure iLO. The ROM-based utility embedded in the
system ROM of your server depends on your server model.
You can access the ROM-based utilities from the physical system console, or by using an iLO
remote console session.
• ProLiant Gen8 servers, except for the DL580 Gen8 server, have the iLO RBSU software
embedded in the system ROM.
• ProLiant Gen9 servers, Synergy compute modules, and the DL580 Gen8 server have the
UEFI System Utilities software embedded in the system ROM.
