iLO Self-Test results
The results of the iLO Self-Test are displayed on the Server and iLO Diagnostics screen. All tested
subsystems should display Passed under normal situations.

Remote Console

The Remote Console tab provides access to different views of the Remote Console and enables you to
define keystroke sequences that will be transmitted to the remote host server at the press of a hot key.
Standard iLO provides embedded hardware Remote Console capabilities on a text mode screen. The
operating system-independent console supports text modes that display remote host server activities, such
as shutdown and startup operations.
The Graphical Remote Console is enabled by licensing the optional iLO Advanced Pack. Graphical
Remote Console turns a supported browser into a virtual desktop, giving the user full control over the
display, keyboard, and mouse of the host server. The operating system-independent console supports
graphic modes that display remote host server activities, such as shutdown and startup operations.

Remote Console option

The Remote Console option redirects the host server console to the network client browser, providing full
text (standard) and graphical mode video, keyboard, and mouse access to the remote host server (if
licensed with the iLO Advanced Pack).
With the Remote Console, you have complete control over a remote host server as if you were in front of
it. You can access the remote file system and the network drives. The Remote Console enables you to
change hardware and software settings of the remote host server, install applications and drivers, change
remote server screen resolution, and gracefully shut down the remote system.
With the Remote Console, you can observe POST boot messages as the remote host server restarts and
initiate ROM-based setup routines to configure the hardware of the remote host server. When installing
operating systems remotely, the graphical Remote Console (if licensed) enables you to view and control
the host server screen throughout the installation process.
