• Support for Support for the HP OneView Software integrated management platform

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: https://www.hp.com/support/rbsu.

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% 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.

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.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: Common Slot power supplies require a new power backplane kit (p/n: 662959-B21) for installation. The Common Slot power supply and power backplane kits must be factory installed - neither should be bought as a standalone option for HP ProLiant DL160 Gen8.

NOTE: 10GbE FlexibleLOM mandatorily need common slot power supply and are not supported with 500W multi-output power supply. These FlexibleLOM options require Aux power connector that comes with the common slot power supply. Please see the options section for specific details.

NOTE: Since DL160 Gen8 only has only one power supply slot, above mentioned power supplies will not be Hot Plug in case of DL160 Gen8.

NOTE: Power Specification and Technical Content for supported power supplies can be found at: https://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14209_div/14209_div.html

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 found: www.hp.com/go/spp and https://www.hp.com/go/hpsum

Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:

• For servers with twenty-four (24) memory slots:
  
  • There are four (4) channels per processor; eight (8) channels per server
    
  • There are three (3) DIMM slots for each memory channel; twenty-four (24) total slots
    
• White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel. For 1 DPC (DIMM per channel) populate white slots only.
  
• Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
  
• If only one processor is installed in a two processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
  
• When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
  
• To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
  
  • Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
    
  • Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor
    
• Do not mix UDIMMs, RDIMMs or LRDIMMs
  
• LR DIMMs are supported up to 3 DIMMs per channel.
  
• DIMMs of different voltages (1.35V & 1.5V) may be mixed in any order
  
• The system will power them at the higher voltage
  
• DIMMs of different speed grades may be mixed in any order
  
  • The system will select a common optimal speed
    
• To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HP SmartMemory is required. For
