Using HP USB Key Utility for Windows, we create a bootable flash drive from the SPP image. We need HP USB Key Utility for Windows because RUFUS cannot create a proper HP bootloader. This has been verified.
Copy CP032487.scexe to the finished flash drive in /hp/swpackages
Turn off the power, remove the case. On the system board, find the main dip switch (System maintenance switch) and turn the first (S1) switch to the ON position
Load the server from the SPP flash drive, you need to select Interactive mode and when the main menu loads very slowly, press ctrl + alt + d + b + x to launch the console
Run:
./CP027578.scexe --direct
You may need to stop running iLO services/drivers (the utility will tell you how and which ones)
Here's a warning! No, the utility won't tell you!
you need to enter a simple magic command:
rmmod hpilo
then Run:
./CP027578.scexe --direct
and a miracle it works!
After successful iLO flashing, turn off the power and return the first (S1) switch back (OFF).
