2. iLO 5
2.1 Overview
HPE’s Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a proprietary embedded server management technology that provides out-
of-band management functionality. HPE’s fifth generation of iLO (iLO 5) is the foundation of HPE’s Gen10 series
enterprise server consisting of HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Synergy systems. The HPE iLO 5 built into HPE
ProLiant Gen10 servers is an autonomous, secure management component embedded directly on the server
motherboard. iLO 5 helps simplify initial server setup, power optimization, thermal optimization, and remote
server administration. It also provides server health monitoring with the HPE Active Health System (AHS) and
provides system administrators with true Agentless Management using SNMP2
alerts from iLO 5, regardless of
the state of the host server. The Embedded Remote Support (ERS) options allow Gen10 servers to use their
Insight Remote Support (IRS) server’s registration from iLO 5, regardless of the operating system software and
without the need for additional host software, drivers, or agents. The HPE AHS monitors and records changes in
the server hardware and system configuration. iLO 5 provides system administrators with secure remote
management capabilities regardless of the server status or location, and it is available whenever the server is
connected to a power source, even if the server main power switch is in the Off position. Figure 1 below shows a
screenshot of the iLO 5 management interface.
Figure 1 – HPE iLO 5 (Example Management Screen)
iLO 5 is supported on the following server platforms:

• HPE ProLiant Gen10 BL BladeSystem Servers (BL460c)
• HPE ProLiant Gen10 XL Scalable Servers (XL230k)
• HPE Synergy Servers (Synergy480, Synergy660)
HPE enterprise servers are designed so that administrative functions that are performed locally can also be
performed remotely. iLO 5 enables remote access to the operating system console, control over the server
power, and hardware reset functionality. It also works with the server to enable remote network booting
through a variety of methods.
The iLO 5 architecture ensures the availability of the majority of iLO 5 functionality, regardless of the state of the
host operating system. The HPE Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility is available for Windows and Linux
operating systems. Additionally, iLO 5 provides Microsoft device driver support, improved .NET framework
support, and HPE SIM3
SSO4
support.
iLO 5 functions out-of-the-box without additional software installation. It functions regardless of the servers’
state of operation and uses a local account database or directory service to authenticate and authorize its users.
iLO 5 can be accessed from any location via a web browser and works hand-in-hand with HPE Systems Insight
Manager, Insight Control, and Insight Dynamics.
Advanced features of iLO 5, available via licensing, include (but are not limited to) the following: graphical
remote console, multi-user collaboration, power and thermal optimization, health monitoring, virtual media,
and console video recording and playback. The advanced features offer sophisticated remote administration of
servers in dynamic data center and remote locations. A list of advanced functionality is shown in Table 1.

2.2 Module Specification
The iLO 5 is a hardware module with a multiple-chip embedded embodiment. The overall security level of the
module is 1. The cryptographic boundary of the module surrounds the iLO 5 ASIC, Flash memory, battery-backed
NVRAM18
, and DDR319
SDRAM20
(see Table 3 for part numbers of these components).
Table 3 – Module Components Part Numbers
Module Component Part Number
ASIC 815393-00121
Flash Memory (16MB22) 1819-1208
Battery-Backed NVRAM 1819-1209
DDR3 SDRAM 2660-0461
The module also includes the iLO 5 firmware and the circuit traces between the module’s physical components.
With the exception of power and ground pins, all data pins on the Flash and RAM23
chips lead directly to the iLO
5 ASIC and do not cross the module boundary. The cryptographic boundary of the module and the relationship
among the various internal components of the module are depicted in Figure 3 below.

The cryptographic module was tested and found compliant using the specific part numbers shown in Table 3.
However, HPE affirms that the GXP ASIC specified in this module will perform the same in all HPE servers
regardless of the specific SDRAM, NVRAM, or flash memory chips used. All HPE hardware components must
meet HPE’s rigorous part requirements and demonstrate the HPE-required functionality.
The module uses the FIPS-Approved algorithm implementations in hardware as listed in Table 4.

KTS (AES Cert. #4525 and HMAC Cert. #2985; key establishment methodology provides between 128 and
256 bits of encryption strength).
Note: Additional information concerning RSA, DSA, and SHA-1, and specific guidance on transitions to the use of stronger
cryptographic keys and more robust algorithms, is contained in NIST Special Publication 800-131A.
Note: If Triple-DES is employed, the user is responsible for ensuring that the module limits the use of any single Triple-DES key to less
than 2^28 encryptions before the key is changed.
When the module generates symmetric keys or seeds used for generating asymmetric keys, unmodified DRBG
output is used as the symmetric key or as the seed for generating the asymmetric keys.
The module utilizes the following non-Approved algorithm implementations that are allowed for use in an
Approved mode of operation:
• Diffie-Hellman (CVL Cert. #1202, key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 or 128
bits of encryption strength)
• EC42

2.3 Module Interfaces
iLO 5 offers a WebUI45
(accessible over TLS) and a Command Line (CLI) (accessible over SSH) management
interfaces. The module’s design separates the physical ports into five logically distinct categories:
• Data Input
• Data Output
• Control Input
• Status Output
• Power
The iLO 5 ASIC provides several power and ground interfaces to the module, as do the Flash and RAM chips. The
physical ports and interfaces of the module comprise the individual pins on the iLO 5 ASIC as described by logical

2.4 Roles and Services
The module supports two roles (as required by FIPS 140-2) that operators may assume: a Cryptographic Officer
(CO) role and a User role. Roles are assumed explicitly by using a username and password or based on
certificate-based credentials on a CAC/PIV card.
Please note that the keys and Critical Security Parameters (CSPs) listed in the table indicate the type of access
required using the following notation:
• R – Read: The CSP is read.
• W – Write: The CSP is established, generated, modified, or zeroized.
• X – Execute: The CSP is used within an Approved or Allowed security function or authentication
mechanism.
2.4.1 Crypto Officer Role
The CO role has the ability to configure the module. This role is assigned when the first operator logs into the
system using the default username and password. Only the CO can create other users and provision the iLO 5 to
operate in FIPS-Approved mode. CO services are provided via the supported secure protocols, specifically
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and SSH. Descriptions of the services available to the CO role are provided in Table
7 below.

2.9.2 Conditional Self-Tests
iLO 5 performs the following conditional self-tests (all in firmware):
• Continuous Random Number Generator Test (CRNGT) for the DRBG
• CRNGT for the NDRNG
• RSA Pairwise Consistency Test for key pair generation
• DSA Pairwise Consistency Test for key pair generation
• ECDSA Pairwise Consistency Test for key pair generation
• Firmware Load Test
2.9.3 Critical Functions Self-Tests
iLO 5 performs the following critical functions self-tests (all in firmware):
• SP 800-90A CTR_DRBG Instantiate Health Test
• SP 800-90A CTR_DRBG Generate Health Test
• SP 800-90A CTR_DRBG Reseed Health Test
• SP 800-90A CTR_DRBG Uninstantiate Health Test
2.9.4 Self-Test Failure Handling
Upon failure of any power-up self-test, conditional self-test, or critical function test, the module demonstrates
the following behavior:
• On failure of firmware integrity test, the module reaches “Boot Error” state in which the module
firmware does not get loaded and the module aborts. The only way to continue from this state is by
rebooting or power-cycling the module. If the error still exists, then the module needs to be returned to
the factory.
• In case of failure of any other self-test, the module reaches the “Critical Error” state and it disables all
access to cryptographic functions and CSPs. All data outputs via data output interfaces are inhibited
upon any self-test failure. A permanent error status will be relayed via the status output interface, which
then is recorded as an entry to the module log file and also relayed via the status output interfaces. The
module then zeroizes all the keys and CSPs, performs a reset to factory default settings, and performs a
reboot. The factory default reset changes the FIPS mode flag, taking the module out of FIPS mode. The
module will have to be reset in order to reconfigure the module to FIPS mode.
2.10 Mitigation of Other Attacks
This section is not applicable. The module does not mitigate any other attacks.

3. Secure Operation
The iLO 5 meets Level 1 requirements for FIPS 140-2. The sections below describe how to place and keep the
module in the FIPS-Approved mode of operation.
3.1 Crypto Officer Guidance
The following sections provide the necessary step-by-step instructions for the secure installation of iLO 5 card as
well as the steps necessary to configure the module for a FIPS-Approved mode of operation.
3.1.1 Initialization
The module is delivered in an uninitialized factory state, and require first-time configuration in order to operate
in its FIPS-Approved mode. Access to the module shall be limited to the Crypto-Officer, and it is the CO’s
responsibility to configure the module into the FIPS-Approved mode. In case of iLO 5 deployed on a Synergy
chassis, the locally connected Frame Link Module gains the initial access to iLO 5 and creates an CO account for
its future use. This access is inhibited once the CO completes all initialization steps. iLO 5 contains a distinct FIPS-
Approved mode of operation that can be set through the configuration of a single parameter during initial
initialization. The following sections provide the necessary step-by-step instructions for the secure installation of
the iLO 5 as well as the steps necessary to configure the module for a FIPS-Approved mode of operation.
Once the host platform is properly installed, the CO shall immediately configure iLO 5 to operate in FIPS-
Approved mode; it is expected that iLO 5 will be configured for FIPS-Approved mode only once during initial host
platform installation.
The following steps outline the procedure for configuring iLO 5 to run in FIPS-Approved mode:
1. Locate the iLO 5 Administrator name and password, located on the pull tab in the server’s bezel.
2. Access the iLO 5 over the Ethernet port via WebUI (over TLS) using the IP address, e.g.,
https://192.168.1.4/.
3. Accept the certificate warning.
4. Use the credentials provided on the server’s pull tab to log on.
5. Click on Security on the left.
6. Click on the Encryption tab.
7. In the Security Settings section’s dropdown list, choose the FIPS option.
8. Click the Apply button.
9. Click the OK button on the pop-up warning.
10. iLO 5 will wipe the memories, reinitialize (zeroizing all existing keying material), and reboot.
11. Access the iLO again, using the first four steps outlined above.
12. Click on Administration on the left.
13. Put a check mark in the box next to Administrator under Local Users.
14. Click the Edit button.
15. Click on the checkbox for Change password.
16. Put in the New Password and Confirm Password textboxes, type the new Administrator password.
17. Click the Update User button.

18. Click on Security on the left.
19. Click on the SSL Certificate tab.
20. Click on the Customize Certificate button.
21. Please follow the steps provided in the section titled Obtaining and Importing an SSL Certificate of the
HPE iLO 5 User Guide to configure the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and import the new certificate.
22. Since the module resets, login again using the current username and password.
23. Click on Remote Console & Media on the left.
24. Click on the Security tab.
25. Change the IRC requires a trusted certificate in iLO option to Enabled.
26. Click the Apply button.
27. Click on Management on the left.
28. Use the Service section on the Access Settings page to disable SNMP (SNMP should not be used in the
FIPS-Approved mode of operation. After disabling SNMP, the module explicitly restricts the use of SNMP
once the configuration is complete.)
29. Under the “Security” menu, click on the “Access Settings” sub-menu. Ensure that “IPMI/DCMI over LAN”
is disabled.
The module is now initialized and in FIPS-Approved mode.
3.1.2 Secure Management
A CO shall change the default password after first login. When a module is powered on for the first time, a CO
shall configure the module for FIPS mode by following the steps mentioned in Section 3.1.1. Additionally, the
following usage policies apply:
• IPMI67
shall be disabled while the module is running in the FIPS-Approved mode of operation.
• SNMP shall be disabled while the module is running in the FIPS-Approved mode of operation.
• The CO shall not enter the DSA or RSA public keys manually while the module is operating in the FIPS-
Approved mode.
• Remote administration must only be performed over the WebUI (HTTPS) and CLI (SSH) interfaces.
Once the module is provisioned into FIPS mode during initialization, the module will operate and remain in FIPS-
Approved mode of operation unless the module enters an error state and performs a factory reset. The Crypto-
Officer can also exit FIPS-Approved mode on demand by restoring the module to factory default.
To check the module’s FIPS mode status, the CO can check the “iLO Event Log” tab, under the “Information”
page. In the “Description” column of the event log, the text “FIPS Mode Enabled.” should appear at the time
when the iLO was powered on or the status was changed to enable it.
3.2 User Guidance
The User does not have the ability to configure sensitive information on the module, with the exception of their
password. The User must be diligent to pick strong passwords and must not reveal their password to anyone.
Additionally, the User should be careful to protect any secret/private keys in their possession, if any.

The module requires 256-bits of entropy to generate a seed for the RNG. 512 bytes of entropy are stored in
NVRAM and continuously replenished via the 800 MHz68
clock.
Any firmware loaded into this module that is not shown on the module certificate is out of the scope of this
validation and requires a separate FIPS 140-2 validation.
3.3 Module’s Mode of Operation
On the first power-up, the module is not configured in its Approved mode. During initial configuration and setup,
the module is explicitly set to operate in the FIPS-Approved mode of operation. An authorized operator can
access the module via the WebUI or the CLI to determine the operational mode of the module. Detailed steps
and procedure required to determine whether the module is operating in FIPS-Approved mode can be found in
the “Enabling FIPS Mode” section of the iLO User’s Guide, which is available at
http://h20566.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=1010145467&docLocale=en_US&docId=emr
_na-a00018324en_us.
3.4 Non-FIPS-Approved Mode
When initialized and configured according to the Crypto-Officer guidance in this Security Policy, the modules do
not support a non-FIPS-Approved mode of operation.
