The HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus is an entry-level server where full remote management capabilities are not included in the base model to maintain a lower price point. To enable HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 5) functionality, which provides remote management, the optional HPE iLO Enablement Kit must be purchased and physically installed. This kit includes a dedicated iLO management port and activates the iLO 5 silicon on the system board, making remote server management possible.

A. Datacenter Care support is an HPE support service level agreement; it does not enable hardware features like remote management.

B. An iLO Standard license is included with the iLO Enablement Kit, but the physical kit itself is the primary requirement to activate the hardware.

C. HPE InfoSight is a cloud-based AI analytics platform that uses data from iLO; it does not enable the iLO functionality itself.
