WARNING: Using the Force Power Off, Force System Reset, or Auxiliary Power Reset functions can result in data
loss.

Booting for the first time

Procedure
1. Power on the system
Press the Power On/Standby button.
If you are setting up the server directly, remember that you need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected. If you are
setting up the server remotely after connecting it to your network, use the iLO 5 Remote Console capabilities from another
computer on the network.
When you first power on a ProLiant Gen10 server, the server displays a list of booting subsystems and self tests. After the
initial Power On Self Test (POST), the server displays the HPE ProLiant initialization screen. The checked icons at the
bottom right represent each option that is present or installed on the server.
NOTE: When using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the iLO IP address appears at bottom left.
2. Start Intelligent Provisioning (F10)
When you see the available function key options display at the bottom of the screen, press F10 to start Intelligent
Provisioning. Wait while Intelligent Provisioning loads.
The Intelligent Provisioning preferences screen appears.
