This page shows you how to use KVM on a Dedibox with HP iLO.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Dedibox server with a KVM-over-IP device: HP iLO (integrated lights-out)

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.
