16 Using the iLO diagnostics, reboot, and reset features
iLO diagnostics
The Diagnostics page displays the iLO self-test results and allows you to reset iLO, generate
an NMI to the system, or configure redundant ROM.
Viewing iLO self-test results
The iLO Self-Test Results section displays the results of internal iLO diagnostic tests, including
the test name, status, and notes.
Navigate to the Information→Diagnostics page.
Self-test details
• The test status is listed in the Status column. To view a tooltip description, move the cursor
over a status icon.
• If a status has not been reported for a test, the test is not listed.
• The tests that are run are system-dependent. Not all tests are run on all systems. To see
the tests that are performed on your system, view the list on the Diagnostics page.
• A test might include additional information in the Notes column. This column displays the
versions of other system programmable logic, such as the System Board PAL or the Power
Management Controller.
• The following information is displayed in the Embedded Flash/SD-CARD test results:
Firmware revision◦
◦ SD-CARD size
◦ SD-CARD slot
◦ SD-CARD write counter
The write counter counts data in 512-byte blocks. If the write counter is at zero, no write
counter text is displayed.
Write counter information is displayed only when a recognized supported SD-Card is
installed with a retail version of the iLO firmware.
Resetting the iLO processor through the web interface
If iLO is slow to respond, you might need to reset the iLO processor.
Using the Reset option does not make any configuration changes, but ends all active connections
to the iLO firmware. If a firmware file upload is in progress, it is terminated. If a firmware flash is
in progress, you cannot reset iLO until the process is finished.
