Introduction
The HPE ProLiant XL190r Gen10 server is a 2U half-width server that contains two processors. The
configuration options are same as the HPE ProLiant XL170r Gen10 server for CPU and memory. The
server has additional PCIe slots in multiple configurations and supports additional expansion cards and
two accelerators per server.

1 If the RCM module is installed on the chassis, the iLO Management Port is automatically disabled.
2 The Media Module adapter is a hardware option.
Serial number/iLO information pull tab
The serial number/iLO information pull tab is double-sided. One side shows the server serial number and
the customer asset tag label. The other side shows the default iLO account information and QR code
label.
Use a mobile device to scan the QR code label to display the server mobile product page (http://
www.hpe.com/qref/xl190rgen10). This page contains links to server setup information, spare part
numbers, QuickSpecs, troubleshooting resources, and other useful product links.

Flashing green iLO is rebooting
Flashing amber System degraded
Flashing red System critical3
1 When the LEDs described in this table flash simultaneously, a power fault has occurred. For more information, see
Front panel LED power fault codes on page 11.
2 Facility power is not present, power cord is not attached, no power supplies are installed, power supply failure has
occurred, or the front I/O cable is disconnected.
3 If the health LED indicates a degraded or critical state, review the system IML or use iLO to review the system health
status.
Server UID LED
The UID LED is used to locate a particular server when it is deployed in a dense chassis with other
equipment. Activating the UID LED helps an onsite technician to quickly identify a server for maintenance
tasks.
UID button functionality
The UID button can be used to display the Server Health Summary when the server will not power on.
For more information, see the latest HPE iLO 5 User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
