DOCUMENTATION -

1.  iLO 4 documentation is available at http://www.hpe.com/support/iLO4.

2.  Check the online help for information about how to use iLO. To access the
    online help, click the question mark icon in the upper right corner of
    any iLO web interface page.

HOW TO USE -

1.  Download the iLO 4 Online Firmware Update Component for your
    operating system.

2.  Install the firmware using one of these options:

    a) Run the component on the host to be updated.
       The component will update the iLO 4 firmware and reset the iLO processor.

    b) Extract the firmware from the component. This will place the firmware
       image file, iLo4_yyy.bin (where yyy represents the firmware version), in
       the target directory.  You now have these options:

       i) Login to iLO, navigate to the Update Firmware page, and update the
       i) Login to iLO, navigate to the Update Firmware page, and update the
          firmware from there.

       ii) Use the Lights-Out Configuration Utility (HPQLOCFG) and RIBCL/XML
           scripts to update iLO 4 across the network.

       iii) Use the Online Lights-Out Configuration utility (HPONCFG) and
            RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 4 from the supported host OS.

3.  iLO automatically resets after a successful update.
    There is no need to manually reset iLO.
