How do I reboot/power cycle in ILO? 

The options to restart a server using the ILO are contained under the virtual power tab.  You can do one of four options:

1. Momentary press – this is like pressing the power button on your laptop/pc or server, with Windows 2000 and above (if I remember correctly), it should cleanly shut down the operating system
2. Press and hold – this is like pressing and holding the power button, it will turn off the computer completely and will not cleanly shut down the server
3. Cold boot of the system – this effectively powers off the server and restarts it.
4. Reset system – this is the ILO way of rebooting it without cleanly restarting the operating system, if your server has hung and wont respond, this might be the option you select.

Problem

You want to be able to add startup items that run when Windows starts. In previous versions of Windows, you could easily add them to the “Startup” folder in the Start menu which is no longer visible.

Solution

1. Open the Windows 8 start screen by doing one of the following:
   • Press the Windows key
   • Move mouse to the bottom left of the screen. When the start screen icon appears, click once.
   OR (as commented by Rick) Press the ‘Windows key’+'R’
2. Type %appdata% and press Enter. This should take you to “C:\Users\<User-Name>\AppData\Roaming”.
3. Navigate to “\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup”. The full path should now look something like:
4. “C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup”.
5. Add shortcuts to the programs you want to automatically start into this folder.
