The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a proprietary embedded server management technology from Hewlett-Packard (HP) that provides out-of-band management facilities for HP ProLiant servers. HP integrates iLO into HP ProLiant servers to enable administrators to perform activities on the HP servers from a remote location.
