iLOiLO Service Port Service Port
The Service Port is a USB port with the label iLOiLO on supported servers and compute modules.
To find out if your server or compute module supports this feature, see the server specifications document at the following website:
https://www.hpe.com/info/qshttps://www.hpe.com/info/qs.
When you have physical access to a server, you can use the Service Port to do the following:
Download the Active Health System Log to a supported USB flash drive.
When you use this feature, the connected USB flash drive is not accessible by the host operating system.
Connect a client (such as a laptop) with a supported USB to Ethernet adapter to access the following:
iLO web interface
Remote console
iLO RESTful API
CLI
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the HPE USB to Ethernet Adapter (part number Q7Y55A).
When you use the iLO Service Port:
Actions are logged in the iLO event log.
The server UID flashes to indicate the Service Port status.
You can also retrieve the Service Port status by using a REST client and the iLO RESTful API.
You cannot use the Service Port to boot any device within the server, or the server itself.
You cannot access the server by connecting to the Service Port.
You cannot access the connected device from the server.
For more information about the iLO Service Port, see the iLO user guide at the following website: https://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-https://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-

ItemItem DescriptionDescription StatusStatus DefinitionDefinition
When all LEDs flash simultaneously, a power fault has occurred. For more information, see Front panel LED power fault codes.
If the health LED indicates a degraded or critical state, review the system Integrated Management Log (IML) or use HPE iLO to
review the system health status.
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.

Server UID LEDServer UID LED
The UID LED is used to locate a particular server when it is deployed in a dense rack with other equipment. Activating the UID LED
helps an on-site technician to quickly identify a server for maintenance tasks.
Server UID LED 13

Using the UID button to view the Server Health SummaryUsing the UID button to view the Server Health Summary
You can use the UID button to display the iLO Server Health Summary screen on an external monitor. This function works both when
the server is powered on or off. Use this feature for troubleshooting if the server will not start up.
CAUTION: CAUTION: Press and release the UID button. Holding it down at any time for more than five seconds initiates a graceful
iLO reboot or a hardware iLO reboot. Data loss or NVRAM corruption might occur during a hardware iLO reboot.
PrerequisitesPrerequisites
An external monitor is connected.
In the iLO web interface, the Show Server Health on External Monitor feature is enabled on the Access Settings page.
ProcedureProcedure
1. Press and release the UID button.
The Server Health Summary screen is displayed on the external monitor. For more information, see the iLO troubleshooting guide
on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website ( https://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-docshttps://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-docs).
2. Press the UID button again to close the Server Health Summary screen.
