Make sure you download the required version from here
2. Confirm downloaded packages are full by comparing sha256sum result
[[email protected] ~]# sha256sum /tmp/CP027911.scexe dc77e7233b3ecde405ed43a404ca81e2900083448ebf19e7612cccba57f00ddf /tmp/CP027911.scexe [[email protected] ~]# sha256sum /tmp/hponcfg-4.6.0-0.x86_64.rpm 9867452e6e1bcbf9ed4f9bc4e7c48d552d7e77348ae026712685c2ef58f76555 /tmp/hponcfg-4.6.0-0.x86_64.rpm

The iLO will be rebooted but not the server (I remember).
Not handled HP hardware in last 4-5 years 🙂
