NOTE: HT indicates that the processor model supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology.
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.

Module ROM
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 o
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.
HPE Synergy Compute 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 UEFI System Utilities.

UEFI enables numerous new capabilities, including both industry standard functionality and features specific to
HPE Synergy Compute Modules. Following are some of the features that UEFI enables and that the HPE
Synergy 480 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 Synergy Compute
Module 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.
NOTE: 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.

Composable Infrastructure. Its disaggregated, rack-scale design uses a master/satellite architecture to
consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scales network bandwidth across multiple
HPE Synergy Frames.
The master module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extend connectivity to satellite frames
through Interconnect Link Modules. This eliminates top of rack switch need and substantially reduces cost. The
reduction in components also simplifies fabric management at scale while consuming fewer ports at the data
center aggregation layer.
The HPE VC SE 40 Gb F8 modules eliminate up to 95% of network sprawl at the compute module edge with
one device that converges traffic inside frames and directly connects to external LANs. Each redundant pair of
Virtual Connect modules provide eight adjustable downlink connections (six Ethernet and two Fibre Channel, or

downlinks connections 14 Ethernet and two Fibre Channel) on each compute module. Up to six uplinks using
QSFP+ interfaces are available for connection to upstream Ethernet switches. Including splitter cables up to 24
uplinks are available for connection to upstream Ethernet and Fibre Channel. The HPE VC SE 40 Gb F8
modules avoid the confusion of traditional and other converged network solutions by eliminating the need for
multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, extension modules, cables and software licenses. Also, Virtual

NOTE: This section lists some of the steps required to configure a Factory Integrated Model (configure-to-order or CTO
compute module). To ensure only valid configurations are ordered, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of an
Hewlett Packard Enterprise approved configurator. Contact your local sales representative for information on CTO product
offerings and requirements.
NOTE: Configure-to-order compute modules must start with a CTO Compute Module.
NOTE: FIO indicates that this option is only available as a factory installable option.
NOTE: All Factory Integrated Models will be populated with sufficient drive blanks based on the number of initial drives ordered
with the server.

• Provides flexible connectivity to HPE Synergy Virtual Connect FC Modules and
/s aggregate full duplex theoretical bandwidth
Brocade FC Switch Modules.
• Capable of delivering twice the data throughput (MB/s) compared to 8 Gb FC
HBAs.
• High link speed combined with larger data block sizes results in improved
application performance.
• Dynamic Port Utilization architecture delivers up to 600 K Input Output
Operations per second (IOPS) on each port or up to 1.2 million IOPS with single
port operation.
tion Optimized:
• Ideal for high density server virtualization environments.
• Enables more applications and Virtual Machines to run on a single HPE Synergy
Compute Module and Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a
higher return on IT investment.
Gb FC fabrics.
• Accelerate SAN deployment (FA-PWWN, F-BLD).
• Improve network resiliency and Quality of Service (FEC, CS_CTL).
• Eenhance diagnostics and troubleshooting (Clearlink®, LCB, RDP, FDMI, FC
Ping, FC Traceroute).
• Latest generation technology saves power.
• Reduced number of components on each FC HBA reduces overall power
consumption.
• Highest Data Integrity; Overlapping Protection Domains (OPD) extended for
control and data paths.
• SAN-level authentication (FC-SP), fabric-level isolation (NPIV and end-to-end
data integrity (T10).
• Provisions and updates all adapters quickly and consistently using the HPE
Synergy template-driven server profiles.
• Orchestrates reliable adapter firmware updates with an entire HPE Synergy
