I've got to give you credit for persistence....  :-)   But specs for this one says Operating System= UNIX.  

BD506AAE

Tnx

That's pretty funny as iLO doesn't really care what the underlying host OS is. Maybe this is for an Integrity based server

I was thinking the same thing.  How does iLO know what system is on  the server if it hasn't even booted up yet.  I could see if it was hardware specific, but OS specific ????  :-)  Thanks for tryimg...

If you look at the quickspecs on this page, I think either of these is fine.  The description is probably just listed wrong on that one page
