Im a DC engineer and we have a mix of HP, IBM and Dells in our 3 data halls. I prefer the HP's over the other brands in terms of support and management. They just seem to have it nailed compared to the others. The "Firmware Maintenance package" is superb. You can put it onto a USB key or DVD and baseline every hardware item in the server to the latest "baseline standard". I much prefer the iLo too. Dell's DRAC can be a pain in the rear sometimes.
Dear thank you for this review, is a very good one! Do you have any suggestios how to boot this server in HBA/IT mode? I found that best solution is to use an old HPE H220 SAS adapter and a pair of straight connectors cables, because the embedded ones are curved so they don't fit in the H220 adapter, I cannot find those straight cables.. any suggestion?
It seems that the screen shown at 2.28 minutes is not appearing on my server, probably because it is in UEFI mode. Instead, I see the old HP logo. Can you assist me in changing it?
couldn't imagine a better server, these fit every thing i'd like to have in a server
The good thing of our work is that if a server breaks or it gies out of production, you can pick it up for absolutely NOTHING

Go in bios setup (f2) go under boot options and select legacy or bios under boot mode entry
second hand server, HPE dont let me create an account, how can update?

It will be on the iLO sticker from the pull out tab. You can also change it via the iLO Menu on bootup.
