for an HP XC system:
Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Setup Utility

server in the hardware configuration:
1. Use the instructions in the accompanying hardware documentation to connect a monitor,
mouse, and keyboard to the node.
2. Turn on power to the node. Watch the screen carefully during the power-on self-test, and
press the F8 key when prompted to access the Integrated Lights Out Setup Utility.

Create a common iLO user name and password for every
node in the hardware configuration. The password must
have a minimum of 8 characters by default, but this value
is configurable.
The user Administrator is predefined by default, but
you must create your own user name and password. For
security purposes, HP recommends that you delete the
Administrator user.
This user name and password are required to access the
console port with the telnet cp-nodename command.
