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:

Server Power Cords ProLiant ML servers in a rack-mount configuration no longer ship standard with NEMA power cords that
allow connection to 110V US wall outlets in a home or office. These servers are primarily connected to
PDU's in data center racks so they now ship standard with only a PDU power cord (416151-B21). If a user
wishes to power a ProLiant ML rack-mount server using a 110V receptacle (NEMA-15), the NEMA power
cord must be ordered separately. The 12' cord (AF556A) or 6' cord (187335-001) can be purchased online
at HP.COM. In a tower configuration, the servers ship standard with a 6' NEMA power cord. If customers
require a power cord, they can check the power cord matrix for the appropriate sku. Please see the
following power cord matrix: http://www.hp.com/go/powercordmatrix .
Power Specifications To review typical system power ratings use the HP Power Advisor which is available via the online tool
located at URL: www.hp.com/go/proliant-energy-efficient or www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor .

Common Slot Power
Supplies
NOTE: Mixing of power supplies in the same server is not supported. All power supplies inside a server
must be exactly the same model. Mixing Gold, Platinum, and Platinum Plus certified power supplies is not
supported.
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. HP
CS power supply options provide efficiency ratings of up to 94% (80 Plus Platinum) and are available in
three power output options – 460W, 750W, and 1200W - allowing the customer to "right-size" a power
supply for their specific server configuration. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark
Compliant, hot-plug and support redundant configurations.
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.
HP CS Platinum 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 redundant) power supplies can be purchased through power supply

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 (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
information and to view usage videos.
Use the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) at:
www.hp.com/go/spp to get firmware and software
updates.
HP iLO Mobile App : Enables the ability to access, deploy, and manage
your server anytime from anywhere from select smartphones and
mobile devices. For additional information please visit:

HP Insight Management HP Service Pack for
ProLiant (SPP)
HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM)
provide a 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 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 for each Service Pack for ProLiant release.
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 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 provides a 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 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
