Opening HP ILO2 with MS Edge

Background
This article was written on 11-Dec-2023.
I have one old HP G5 server with ILO2 and I have decommissioned all of my old servers or desktop, hence I am left with MS Edge.
HP ILO2 is still using TLS 1.0, so Firefox will not be able to connect to it.

There is no precaution at this time

Prerequisites
HP ILO2 powered and connected.
