HPE ProLiant XL250a Gen9 Server
The
HPE ProLiant XL250a Server delivers 2P performance with dual accelerators, while taking advantage of the Apollo 6000
System's modular flexibility and rack
-scale efficiency. This server leverages Intel’s Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 series processors, and
DDR 4
HPE Smart Memory
The modular
HPE Apollo a6000 Chassis can accommodate up to 5 double slot XL250a server trays to address various workload
needs.
Rack scale power efficiency is
improved by an external power shelf, with easy Advanced Power Management for rack, chassis,

HPE Server ROM
HPE
ROM (Read Only Memory) is now digitally signed using the HPE Corporate Signing Service. This
signature is verified before the
flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and preventing
malicious efforts to corrupt system ROM.
HPE
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.
HPE
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 h
ardware errors are logged to the Integrated Management Log
(IML) to assist in diagnosis.
The
HPE 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 HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

For further information, please refer to the HPE
RBSU (ROM based setup utility) user guide:

HPE Server Unified
Extensible Firmware
Interface (UEFI) or
Legacy Mode
The
HPE ProLiant System BIOS is an EDK2 UEFI solution, and adheres to the latest revisions of UEFI
Class 2 specific
ations which supports both legacy boot and UEFI boot operation. The HPE ProLiant
XL250
a Gen9 defaults to UEFI boot operation and can be factory or field configured for Legacy boot
operation.
NOTE:
For UEFI boot operation, boot environment and OS image installations should be
configured properly to support UEFI.
NOTE:
For more information on Hewlett Packard Enterprise
's ProLiant System BIOS and UEFI, see
the UEFI Information Library:
http://www.hp.com/go/uefi/docs
NOTE:
HPE Legacy FIO Mode Setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in
UEFI mode in the factory.
To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press F9 in the
HPE
ProLiant POST screen to
enter the UEFI System Utilities sc
reen. By default, the System Utilities menus are in the English
language.
UEFI enables numerous new capabilities, including both industry standard functionality and features
specific to
HPE ProLiant servers. Following are some of the features that UEFI enables and that the
HPE
ProLiant XL250a Gen9 can support when configured for UEFI boot operation:
•Secure Boot - A new feature in which the system firmware, option card firmware, operating
systems, and software collaborate to greatly enhance platform security.
•Operating system specific functionality - Microsoft Windows 2012 supports several features
only when installed in UEFI mode.
•Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives - Such drives could previously only be used for
boot drives when using RAID solutions such as HPE Smart Array.
•UEFI Shell - Provides a pre-boot environment for running scripts and tools. The HPE ProLiant
UEFI Shell provides both standard capabilities as well as numerous enhancements.
•PXE boot support for IPv6 networks.
•PXE Multicast Boot allowing for faster PXE deployments for large numbers of servers.
•Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM.
NOTE:
•When the server is configured for UEFI Boot Mode, PXE servers must be configured with
a UEFI boot image.
•When the
server boots in UEFI mode, it does not boot media with a legacy OS installation.
This includes DOS targets and Windows or Linux systems installed in Legacy mode. The
reverse is also true for servers that boot in Legacy mode.
•If Microsoft Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 is used in UEFI Boot Mode, UEFI
Optimized Mode must be disabled (this option is enabled by default). This is required to
work around an issue in Windows 2008 / 2008 R2 that requires legacy BIOS components
necessary for video operations in Windows.

HPE Service Pack for
ProLiant (SPP)
HPE
Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HPE Smart Update Manager
(
HPE 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
HPE server hardware launches. By enabling
firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and system
software updates in one operation,
HPE SUM and the SPP offer faster
updates of individual servers and dramatically faster updates of
the entire
HPE
Apollo 6000 System. Further improving system uptime and stability is
the fact that
Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides 12 months of support for
each Service Pack for ProLi
ant release (may vary by region.
The user experience around
HPE 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
HPE 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
HPE SUM application provides a straightforward, intuitive user
interface that guides the user through the step
s 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 e
asily updated from hp.com, HPE SUM provides the tools to
optimize stability and consistency throughout the company. While
HPE
SUM and the SPP recommend the combinations of firmware and system
software that
Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 HPE Apollo 6000 System. This
testing
ensures the highest quality as well as providing the input for HPE
SUM t
o deploy updates taking into account all interdependencies, when
determining
the correct updates and order of update deployment.

NOTE: The processor model as well as the memory configuration determines the maximum speed
memory can operate. Please see the see the "Memory" section later in this document.
NOTE: For the maximum supported memory speeds for each processor listed above, please reference
the 'Memory Speed by Processor Model' table in the Memory section of the QuickSpecs.
NOTE: DDR4 speed is the maximum memory speed of the processor. Actual memory speed may depend
on the quantity and type of DIMMs installed.
NOTE: When v4 processors are selected, only PC4-2400T Memory Kits can be selected.
NOTE: When v3 processors are selected, only PC4-2133P Memory Kits can be selected.

NOTE: All processors support Intel® Hyper-Threading and Intel® Turbo Boost Technologies except the
E5-2603 v3/v4 and E5-2609 v3/v4.
NOTE: Turbo indicates the maximum potential frequency when using Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.
The frequency boost increment is dependent on the processor SKU and the number of active cores. In
general, a higher boost increment is obtained when fewer cores are active.
NOTE: For the Intel® C610 Chipset E5-2600 v3/v4 Series, the letter preceding the model number
