HP Server ROM
HP ROM (read only memory) is now digitally signed using HP's Corporate Signing Service. This signature is
verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and preventing malicious efforts
to corrupt system ROM.
HP ROM provides for essential initialization and validation of hardware components before control is
passed to the customer-installed operating system. The ROM also provides the capability of booting from
various fixed media (HDD, CD-ROM) and removable media (USB), to continue operation to the operating
system.
HP ROM performs very early configuration of the video controller, to allow monitoring of initialization
progress via an attached monitor. If configuration or hardware errors are discovered during this early
phase of hardware initialization, suitable messages are now displayed on the connected monitor.
Additionally, these configuration or hardware errors are logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) to
assist in diagnosis.
HP's ProLiant ROM is used to configure the following:
Processor and chipset status registers
System memory, memory map, and memory initialization
System hardware configuration (integrated PCI devices and optional PCIe cards).
Customer-specific BIOS configuration using the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
NOTE: For further information, please refer to HP's RBSU (ROM based setup utility) user guide:
http://www.hp.com/support/rbsu
HP Server UEFI
/Legacy ROM
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides better manageability
and more secured configuration while interacting with your server at boot time. HP ProLiant Gen9 platform
defaults to UEFI and can be factory or field configured for Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.

NOTE: The UEFI System Utilities function is analogous to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) of legacy
BIOS. For more information, please visit http://www.hp.com/go/proliantuefi/docs
UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HP ProLiant servers such as:
Secure Boot
Operating system specific functionality
Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives
USB 3.0 Stack
Embedded UEFI Shell
Mass Configuration Deployment Tool using HP RESTful API
PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM
NOTE: For more information please visit http://www.hp.com/go/proliant/uefi
NOTE: For UEFI Boot Mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured properly to
support UEFI.
