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:

Storage Controller HP Dynamic Smart Array B120i Controller
NOTE: HDD bays 1 and 2 support 6.0Gb/s SATA. HDD bays 3 and 4 support 3.0Gb/s SATA.
NOTE: Supports RAID 0/1/10 only. No FBWC support. For FBWC, a standup Smart Array Controller card
must be configured.
NOTE: For more information about the controller and its features, see the HP Dynamic Smart Array RAID
Controller User Guide on the HP website: ( http://www.hp.com/support/DSA_RAID_UG_en ).
NOTE: To configure arrays, see the Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide on

servers. The HP iLO Management Engine portfolio includes:
HP iLO: The HP iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) management processor is
the core foundation for the HP iLO Management Engine
HP Agentless Management: Provides built in server health monitoring
and alerting capability without OS agents, that starts working the
moment a power cord and an Ethernet cable are connected.
HP Active Health System: Always on, continuous monitoring for
increased stability and shorter downtimes; 100% configuration history;
Health and service alerts and easy export and upload to Service and
Support.
HP Intelligent Provisioning: Lets customers provision and configure a
single server without any separate media. No more SmartStart CDs or
Smart Update Firmware DVD are 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).
Please go to the Intelligent Provisioning website at
www.hp.com/go/intelligentprovisioning for additional

HP Insight Management 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
downloaded from www.hp.com/go/spp/download . More information can be

HP Trusted Platform Module Option 488069-B21
NOTE: The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a microcontroller chip that can securely
store artifacts used to authenticate the server platform. These artifacts can include
passwords, certificates and encryption keys. Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption
(BitLocker) is a data protection feature available in Windows Server® 2008. BitLocker
leverages the enhanced security capabilities of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
version 1.2. The TPM works with BitLocker to help protect user data and to ensure that
a server running Windows Server 2008 has not been tampered with while the system
was offline. For more information about TPM, including a white paper, go to:
www.hp.com/go/TPM .
NOTE: The TPM key is unique to every TPM deployed server and must be retained.
Misplacing or losing the key could result in data loss.
