iLO RESTful API support for UEFI

The ProLiant Gen9 servers include support for a UEFI-compliant System BIOS, along with UEFI System
Utilities and Embedded UEFI Shell preboot environments. ProLiant Gen9 servers also support configuring
the UEFI BIOS settings using the iLO RESTful API, a management interface that server management
tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring of a ProLiant server. The iLO RESTful
API uses basic HTTPS operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and PATCH) to submit or return JSON-
formatted data with iLO web server.
For more information about the iLO RESTful API and the RESTful Interface Tool, see the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website.

HPE ProLiant Pre-boot Health Summary

If the server will not start up, you can use iLO to display diagnostic information on an external monitor.
This feature is supported on server s that support external video and have a UID button or an SUV
connector. When power is available to the server but the server is not powered on, iLO runs on auxiliary
power and can take control of the server video adapter to display the HPE ProLiant Pre-boot Health
Summary.
For additional information, see the following documents:
• iLO 4 User Guide — See the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
• ProLiant Gen9 Troubleshooting Guide, Volume I: Troubleshooting — See Troubleshooting
resources.
