Server POST Tracking
Feedback is limited while the server is booting because of the headless nature of
the ProLiant BL p-Class servers. iLO provides boot-time feedback by flashing
the Server Health LED green during server POST. The LED is set to solid amber
if the boot is unsuccessful. The LED is set to solid green at the end of a
successful boot.
After a successful boot, control of the Server Health LED is returned to the
server, which can turn the LED off or set it to some other color to represent the
health of the server hardware.
Insufficient Power Notification
iLO turns the Server Health LED solid red if iLO cannot power on the server
because insufficient power is in the rack infrastructure.

Hot-Plug Keyboard

Hot-plug keyboard functionality was implemented for all servers with iLO. The
hot-plug keyboard feature supports connecting a local keyboard to the server
while the server is in a powered-on state. It is not necessary to power cycle the
server to get local keyboard functionality after hot-plugging a keyboard. If a
keyboard is connected to the server after the operating system has booted, the
hot-plugged keyboard is fully functional. The keyboard can be hot-plugged
multiple times after the operating system has booted.
