This page shows you how to use [KVM-over-IP](/dedibox-kvm-over-ip/concepts/#kvm-over-ip) on a Dedibox with HP iLO 5.

<Requirements />

- A Dedibox account logged into the [console](https://console.online.net)
- A Dedibox server with a KVM-over-IP device: [HP iLO 5 (integrated lights-out)](https://www.hpe.com/us/en/hpe-integrated-lights-out-ilo.html)

## Creating an iLO session

1. Click **Server** > **Server List** in your Dedibox console. The list of your dedicated servers displays.
2. Click the name of the server you want to access. The server's status page displays.
3. Click **iLO** in the menu on the right. A pop-up displays.

4. Accept the terms for iLO access by clicking **I Accept**.
5. Enter the authorized IPv4 address for the iLO connection. The IP address of your internet connection is already pre-filled in the form. Then click **Create** to generate your credentials.
    <Message type="note">
      Currently, only IPv4 addresses are accepted.
    </Message>

The connection URL and your credentials display. Click on the link to access the iLO interface.

## Accessing the KVM-over-IP device

1. Open the connection URL in your web browser and log in with the generated credentials.
2. Click **Integrated Remote Console** (IRC) to launch the remote console.
    <Message type="tip">
      Depending on your server model and iLO firmware, you may get an **HTML5** console (preferred) or a **Java-based** one. For Java, ensure Java is installed on your computer.
    </Message>

## Mounting the installation ISO (Virtual Media)

1. In the iLO remote console or main interface, locate the **Disc** / **Virtual Media** icon (usually a CD symbol).
2. Click **CD/DVD** > **Local .iso file** and upload/select your OS installation ISO from your computer.
    <Message type="tip">
      Alternatively, use a pre-uploaded ISO from Scaleway's NAS: Click **Scripted Media URL** and enter a path from https://virtualmedia.online.net/.
    </Message>

The ISO is now mounted as a virtual CD/DVD drive.

## Booting from Virtual Media

1. In the iLO interface, go to the menu (usually top/hamburger icon) > **Power** > **Reset** (or **Power Cycle**) to reboot the server.
2. Watch the console during reboot and press **F11** repeatedly when prompted to enter the **Boot Menu**.
