Using iLO 69
The iLO Virtual Floppy appears to your operating system just like any other
floppy. When using iLO for the first time, the host operating system may prompt
you to complete a New Hardware Found wizard.
When you are finished using iLO virtual media and disconnect it, you might
receive a warning message from the host operating system regarding unsafe
removal of a device. This warning can be avoided by using the operating system-
provided feature to stop the device before disconnecting it from the Virtual
Media.
