SE326M1R2 ("Mach1") ILO reset

[Tls-NetBSD]

Hi.  I work for the NetBSD Foundation.  We maintain the NetBSD open-source operating system.

We have a donated Proliant server which I believe likely began its life as an Azure storage node.  It's a "SE326M1R2", product ID 530655-B21.  Unlike a standard DL180 of this generation it appears to have real HP ILO.

Unfortunately, at startup time, it prints out:

Integrated Lights-Out 2 is disabled.  Use the Security Override Switch and the ILO 2 F8 ROM-Based Setup Utility to enable Lights-Out functionality.

This server does not have a Security Override Switch in the same motherboard location as a normal DL180 (in fact, we have another of these "SE326" systems which does seem to have a standard DL180 motherboard, but the system I'm talking about here does not).  I can't seem to find any manual for this hardware confguration -- unsurprising as I know these were semi-custom "cloud" servers.

This motherboard has a block of jumpers marked "SYS ID" where a normal DL180G6 would have the security jumper.  The motherboard part number is 691747-001.

I have done exhaustive search of all the jumpers that look like they _might_ be the security override jumper but in no position am I prompted to enter the ILO RBSU nor does F8 do anything.  I pulled the P410 storage controller, since it also uses F8 for its ROM ACU, but that didn't help.

NetBSD has had a long and productive relationship with HP and its corporate predecessors but I don't have any current contact at HPE who seems likely to know the answer to this.  I'm hoping someone reading this can help me find the security switch or otherwise reset/enable the ILO on this server; it is likely we may receive other donations of this type of hardware and we would really like to be able to put them to good use.

Hello,

Maybe you can help me!?

I seem to have the same mainboard with the jumper block.

I've not yet found the precise jumper, it says to be the (J27-A) for clearing CMOS.

I can find J27 on the board, but what is meant by J27-A ?

Have you found any description?

Thanks
