Reset iLO to the factory default settings
In some cases, you might need to reset iLO to the factory default settings. For example, you
must reset iLO to the default settings when you disable FIPS mode. You can use the BMC
Configuration Utility, the iLO RESTful API to perform this task.
• To use the BMC Configuration Utility, see Resetting iLO to the factory default settings
(BMC Configuration Utility) .
• To use the iLO RESTful API.
Resetting iLO to the factory default settings (BMC Configuration Utility)
CAUTION:
When you reset iLO to the factory default settings, all iLO settings are erased, including
user data, license data, configuration settings, and logs. If the server has a factory installed
license key, the license key is retained.
Events related to the reset are not logged to the iLO Event Log and Integrated
Management Log because this step clears all the data in the logs.
Procedure
1. Optional: If you access the server remotely, start an iLO remote console session.
2. Restart or power on the server.
3. Press F9 in the server POST screen.
The UEFI System Utilities start.
4. From the System Utilities screen, click System Configuration, and then click BMC
Configuration Utility.
5. Select Yes in the Set to factory defaults menu.
6. The BMC Configuration Utility prompts you to confirm the request.
7. Click OK.
8. iLO resets to the factory default settings. If you are managing iLO remotely, the remote
console session is automatically ended. You cannot access the BMC Configuration Utility
again until after the next system reboot.
9. Resume the boot process:
a. Optional: If you are managing iLO remotely, wait for the iLO reset to finish, and then
start the iLO remote console.
The BMC Configuration Utility screen is still open from the previous session.
b. Press Esc until the main menu is displayed.
c. Click Exit and resume system boot.
