Rebooting iLO with the server UID button
The UID button on ProLiant Gen9 servers (if present) can be used to initiate a manual reboot of
iLO.
For more information about the UID button, see the user guide for your server at the following
website: http://www.hpe.com/support/proliantgen9/docs.
Performing a graceful iLO reboot with the server UID button
When you initiate a graceful iLO reboot, the iLO firmware initiates the iLO reboot.
Initiating a graceful iLO reboot does not make any configuration changes, but ends all active
connections to iLO. If a firmware file upload is in progress, it is terminated. If a firmware flash is
in progress, you cannot reboot iLO until the process is finished.
To initiate a graceful iLO reboot, press and hold the UID button for 5 to 9 seconds.
The UID button/LED flashes blue 4 Hz/cycle per second to indicate that a graceful iLO reboot is
in progress.
