Why each option
iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) is HPE's out-of-band management technology that allows administrators to remotely power on, reboot, or manage a server even when the OS is down or the server is completely off.
iLO is an out-of-band management controller embedded on HPE server motherboards that operates independently of the host OS and main power. It provides a dedicated management network interface allowing a technician to remotely power on a server, access a virtual console, and control hardware - all without requiring the OS to be running.
A KVM switch provides physical keyboard, video, and mouse access to a server but does not provide remote power-on capability - it only works once the server is already powered and displaying output.
SSH is an OS-level remote shell protocol that requires the server's operating system to be running and network stack to be active before a connection can be established.
RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a graphical remote access protocol that requires the Windows OS to be fully booted and running before it can accept connections.
