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:

HP ProLiant DL servers no longer ship standard with a 12-foot NEMA 5-15P to C13 power cords

(227099-001) that allow connection to 110V US wall outlets in a home or office. ProLiant DL servers are

primarily connected to PDU's in data center racks so they now ship standard with only a PDU 6-foot C-14

to C13 power cord (142258-001). If a user wishes to power a ProLiant DL server using a110V receptacle

(NEMA-15), the 12-foot NEMA 5-15 to C13 power cord must be ordered separately. See Power Cords

section for Worldwide Power Cord options.

Common Slot Power

Supply

NOTE:

The default power supply for DL320e Gen8 server is a 350W Non Hot Plug, Non Redundant (ATX)

power supply.

NOTE:

To choose a Redundant Common Slot Power Supply option for the DL320e Gen8 server, a Factory

Integrated Model must be chosen, beginning with a CTO server. Also, an HP DL320e Gen8 RPS Enablement

FIO Kit (675451-B21) is required.

HP's Common Slot (CS) power supplies allow for commonality of power supplies across a wide range of

ProLiant and Integrity servers, as well as HP Storage solutions, and are designed to provide the highest

power supply efficiency without degrading system performance. HP CS power supplies are tested by the

Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and certified through the ECOS 80 Plus power supply program.

The 460W HP CS power supply option provides an efficiency rating of up to 94%. All HP Common Slot

power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, hot-plug and support redundant configurations.

NOTE:

Mixing of power supplies (for instance Common Slot Platinum Plus power supplies and Common

Slot Gold power supplies) in the same server is not supported. All power supplies must be of the same

output and efficiency rating. If non-matched power supplies are inserted you will get errors and operation

will fail.

HP CS Platinum Plus power supplies are required when enabling HP's Intelligent Power Discovery (IPD)

solution. IPD is the first technology to create an automated, energy-aware network between IT systems

and facilities. This allows your company to reclaim millions of dollars in wasted power capacity and

downtime costs across data centers. For more information on HP's IPD solution, go to

www.hp.com/go/ipd

It is highly recommended that you use the HP Power Advisor in defining the "Right-Size" power supply for

your needs. HP Power Advisor can be accessed at:

www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor

NOTE:

The 80 PLUS program is a unique forum that unites electric utilities, the computer industry, and

consumers in an effort to bring energy efficient technology solutions to the marketplace. 80 Plus

independently tests power supply efficiency and publicly posts the results on 80Plus.org.

Redundant Power: Optional (1+1 or n+n redundant) power supplies can be purchased through power

supply option kits (see Power Supplies for part numbers).

On System Management

HP iLO Management

Engine

HP iLO Management Engine is a comprehensive set of embedded management

features supporting the complete lifecycle of the server, from initial

deployment, through ongoing management, to service alerting and remote

support. HP iLO Management Engine comes standard on all HP ProLiant Gen8

servers. The HP iLO Management Engine portfolio includes:

HP iLO: The HP iLO management processor is the core foundation for HP

iLO Management Engine. HP iLO for HP ProLiant servers simplify server

setup, engage health monitoring and power and thermal control, and

promote remote administration for HP ProLiant ML, DL, BL and SL

servers. Furthermore with the new HP iLO is the ability to access,

deploy, and manage your server anytime from anywhere with your

Smartphone device.

HP Agentless Management: With HP iLO Management Engine in every

HP ProLiant Gen8 server, the base hardware monitoring and alerting

capability is built into the system (running on the HP iLO chipset) and

starts working the moment that a power cord and an Ethernet cable is

connected to the server.

HP Active Health System: HP Active Health System is an essential

component of the HP iLO Management Engine. The HP Active Health

System monitors and records changes in the server hardware and

system configuration. The Active Health System assists in diagnosing

problems and delivering rapid resolution when system failures occur.

HP Intelligent Provisioning: HP Intelligent Provisioning includes

everything you need for painless system setup and deployment. All

your HP Gen8 ProLiant servers and Gen8 ProLiant server blades are

ready to set-up right out-of-the box. The firmware, drivers, and tools

that you need to quickly get your systems online are embedded on a

NAND flash chip on the server motherboard- no more SmartStart CDs or

firmware DVDs needed. Intelligent Provisioning is agentless for

improved performance, but you still have the ability to run agents if

needed.

To start Intelligent Provisioning:

Press the F10 key during the ProLiant Gen8 server boot

process (also known as power on self test or POST).

HP Service Pack for

ProLiant (SPP)

HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM)

version 5 provide a new, comprehensive approach to firmware and system

software maintenance. Together they provide better operating stability and

ensure maximum uptime. The SPP will be updated at a predictable cadence,

typically coinciding with new HP server hardware launches. By enabling all

firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and system software

updates in one operation HP SUM and the SPP offer faster updates of

individual servers and dramatically faster updates of entire BladeSystem

enclosures. Further improving system uptime and stability is the fact that HP

provides 12 months of support on each Service Pack for ProLiant.

The user experience around HP SUM and the SPP has been improved in several

ways, starting with the web download. A single web page provides access to a

single download containing both the latest version of HP SUM version 5 and

the latest SPP. Optional smaller subsets with only specific types of servers or

specific operating systems are offered to save on download time. The HP SUM

application has been re-written to provide a more straightforward, intuitive

user interface that guides the user through the steps of discovery, analyses

and update, providing comprehensive information on available updates,

criticality and interdependencies. This information is also available in reports.

By providing the option of multiple local or shared repositories which can be

easily updated from hp.com, HP SUM provides the tools to optimize stability

and consistency throughout the company. While HP SUM and the SPP will

recommend the combinations of firmware and system software that HP has

found to be the best practice, the application gives customers the flexibility to

set their own specific baseline.

The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific

attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within the

server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure components

(Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing ensures the highest

quality as well as providing the input for HP SUM to deploy updates taking into

account all interdepencies, when determining the correct updates and order of

update deployment.

NOTE:

The Service Pack for ProLiant (which includes HP SUM 5) can be
