NOTE: HPE memory from previous generation servers are not qualified or warranted
with this HPE ProLiant Server. HPE SmartMemory is required to realize the memory
performance improvements and enhanced functionality listed in this document for
Gen9. For additional information, please see the HPE SmartMemory QuickSpecs .
NOTE: LRDIMM and RDIMM are distinct memory technologies and cannot be mixed
within a server.
NOTE: Depending on the memory configuration (for instance: number of DIMMs and
DIMMs per channel, type of memory) and processor model, the memory speed may
run at 2400, 2133, 1866MHz, 1600MHz. Please see Memory Population Table below
or the Online Memory Configuration Tool .
Memory
Protection
Advanced ECC Advanced ECC uses single device data correction to detect
and correct single and all multibit error that occurs within a
single DRAM chip.
Online spare Memory online spare mode detects a rank that is degrading
and switches operation to the spare rank.
Mirroring mode Memory mirroring inter-socket stores a copy of memory with
dynamic failover in case of failure. Once a DIMM in a mirrored
set is detected as failed, the mirror failover uses its mirrored
DIMM.
Demand and Patrol
Scrubbing
Memory demand and patrol scrubbing prevent accumulation
of correctable errors and reduces the likelihood of unplanned
downtime.
Failed DIMM Isolation Failed DIMM isolation improves the service time thus
improving the overall system availability.
Data Bus ECC
Protection
Data Bus ECC protection provides automatic correction from
a single data bit error and detection of double data error bits.
Often called single error correction/double error detection
(SEC/DED).
Memory Thermal
Control
Memory thermal control is used to prevent DIMMs from
overheating. Achieved by slowing down the memory access
rate per the temperature monitored by DIMM sensor.
Memory Mirroring
Inter-Socket
Memory mirroring inter-socket stores a copy of memory with
dynamic failover in case of failure. Once a DIMM in a mirrored
set is detected as failed, the mirror failover uses its mirrored
DIMM.

NOTE: 1500W power supply supports high line voltage only.
Prior to making a power supply selection it is highly recommended that the HPE
Power Advisor is run to determine the right size power supply for your server
configuration. The HPE Power Advisor is located at:
http://www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor .
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Common Slot (CS) power supplies allow for
commonality of power supplies across a wide range of ProLiant and Integrity
servers, as well as HPE Storage solutions, and are designed to provide the highest
power supply efficiency without degrading system performance. HPE CS power
supplies are tested by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and certified
through the ECOS 80 Plus power supply program. HPE CS power supply options
provide efficiency ratings of up to 94% (80 Plus Platinum) and are available in
several power output options including - 1200W, 1500W - allowing the customer to
"right-size" a power supply for their specific server configuration. All HPE Common

Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, hot-plug and support redundant
configurations.
HPE CS Platinum Plus power supplies are required when enabling HPE'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 HPE's IPD solution, go to
http://www.hp.com/go/ipd .
NOTE: Mixing of 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.
NOTE: All pre-configured servers ship with a standard 6-foot IEC C-13/C-14 jumper
cord (A0K02A). This jumper cord is also included with each standard AC power
supply option kit. If a different power cord is required, please check the ProLiant

HPE Server
UEFI/Legacy
ROM
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides
better manageability and more secured configuration than the legacy ROM while
interacting with your server at boot time. HPE 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 HPE ROM-Based
Setup Utility (RBSU) of legacy BIOS. For more information, please visit
http://www.hpe.com/servers/uefi .
UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HPE 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 RESTful API for iLO 4
PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM
Network Stack configurations
NOTE: For UEFI Boot Mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be
configured properly to support UEFI.
NOTE: UEFI FIO Setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in
Legacy mode in the factory for your HPE ProLiant Gen9 Server.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
TPM 2.0
NOTE: HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Option (745823-B21) works with Gen9
servers with UEFI Mode not Legacy Mode. It is not compatible with HPE ProLiant
Gen8 servers or earlier generation variants. HPE Gen9 servers purchased earlier
may need the latest firmware update to be compatible with the TPM 2.0 Option.
The earlier HPE Trusted Platform Module Option (488069-B21) is the TPM 1.2
version, which is also available on the DL560 Gen9 platform, however TPM 2.0
has newer technology standards incorporated. The TPM 1.2 compatible server
platforms include Gen8 and Gen9 servers.
HPE server systems can have a TPM module (of any type) installed only once. It
cannot be replaced with any other TPM module.
