Installation Manual
Updating the ROM settings
1. Navigate to the Information→Diagnostics page.
The Active ROM table shows the version and date of the active system ROM.
The Backup ROM table shows the version of the backup ROM and the release date of the
backup ROM bootblock (ProLiant Gen8 servers only). The backup ROM is typically the
previously installed version.
2. To swap the active ROM and the backup ROM, click Swap ROM.
3. When prompted to confirm the request, click OK.
The change will take effect after the next system reboot.
Rebooting (Resetting) iLO
In some cases, it might be necessary to reboot iLO; for example, if iLO is not responding to the
browser.
IMPORTANT: The iLO web interface and the ROM-based setup utilities sometimes uses the
term iLO reset to mean an iLO reboot.
Rebooting iLO does not make any configuration changes, but it ends all active connections to
iLO.
To reboot iLO, use one of the following methods:
• Click Reset on the Information→Diagnostics page in the iLO web interface.
• Use the CLI or HPONCFG. For instructions, see the iLO scripting and CLI guide.
• The Insight Management Agents 5.40 and later can reset iLO. Select the Reset iLO option
on the Management Agent page in the iLO section.
• Click Apply on the Network→iLO Dedicated Network Port or Shared Network
Port→General page. This action forces the iLO management processor to reset. If the
Apply button is not available, change a setting, change it back, and then click Apply to reset
iLO without changing the configuration.
• Use the iLO 4 Configuration Utility. The iLO 4 Configuration Utility is available only on servers
that support UEFI.
• Use the UID button on supported ProLiant Gen9 servers.
• Use the iLO RESTful API and the RESTful Interface Tool. For more information, see http://
www.hpe.com/info/restfulapi.
• Use IPMI. For more information, see the iLO IPMI user guide.
If none of these methods are available or working as expected, you must power down the server
and disconnect the power supplies completely.
