The iLO Virtual Floppy appears to your operating system just like any other
floppy. When using iLO for the first time, the host operating system may prompt
you to complete a New Hardware Found wizard.
When you are finished using iLO virtual media and disconnect it, you might
receive a warning message from the host operating system regarding unsafe
removal of a device. This warning can be avoided by using the operating system-
provided feature to stop the device before disconnecting it from the Virtual
Media.
