Hi,

Can anyone here please assist me with the problem in which prevents me from booting the server into the OS ?

somehow it is stuck during POST on the sensor calibration ?

You could have a look into the ILO logs.

May I know how and where to look at that ?

FYI: this server has no iLO setup yet.

Plug a DHCP network connection into the iLO port, hopefully you have a way to look at your DHCP server to see what IP address was assigned to the iLO (pointers to a couple of user create programs to help find the iLO if you can't access the DHCP server). Once you have the iLO IP point your browser to the address, get the default login info from the toe-tag. Then you can look at the iLO and IML logs

User created programs to find iLO's on your network:

Find iLOs script for Linux http://blog.nachotech.com/?p=63. I use this in my lab and it works well

A Windows PowerShell alternative (I've not tested) http://www.blkmtn.org/PowerShell-Find_iLO_on_a_subnet

For such cases I have a small DHCP server installed on a laptop with a single IP address to assign. Connected to the ilo port using a cross cable. So you can be sure what address the ILO got.
