As a result, administrators can use HP Systems Insight Manager
(SIM) 5.3 and greater to manage ProLiant 100-series G6 servers.
Administrators can also use any other SNMP- based management
tool. These agents are obtained as part of the ProLiant 100-series
model-specific "Easy Set-up" CDs, or through:

www.hp.com/servers/easysetup

The following capabilities are enabled on the 100-series G6
servers by the SNMP agents:
Health monitoring capabilities, including monitoring for drives,
fans, network, power supplies, and temperature
Alerting capabilities, including basic alert notification for Smart
Array drive pre-failure only
Performance monitoring capabilities providing information on
processor, memory, disk free space, network utilization

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.

NOTE:

For more information about TPM, including a white paper, go to

NOTE:

ProLiant OS pre-installed units will come with the partition required for TPM deployment.

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.

One 6' Highline (IEC-IEC) power cord ships standard

NOTE:

HP ProLiant DL servers no longer ship standard with NEMA power cords (P/N 163719-

002) that allow connection to 110V US wall outlets in a home or office. ProLiant DL servers are
primarily connected to PDU's in data center racks so they now ship standard with a PDU power
cord (416151-B21). If a user wishes to power a ProLiant DL server using a 110V receptacle
(NEMA-15), the NEMA power cord (P/N 227099-001) must be ordered separately.

HP has a new design for ProLiant power. The new Common Slot Power Supply bay. This design
provides the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on
the cost of spares and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs.
Many HP ProLiant Servers come with Common Slot, High Efficiency and Right-Size Power
Supplies. Common Slot (CS) designates commonality of the power supply across multiple
ProLiant servers. HP's new Common Slot power supplies are designed for highest efficiency to
provide power efficiency without degrading performance of the ProLiant. Power Supplies will have
efficiency ratings up to 92%. There are three Right Size power options available, depending on
the configuration of your server. To make sure you select the correct power supply to meet your
configuration, we suggest that you use the HP Power Advisor to decide the "Right-Size" for your
configuration. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, Hot Plug and
Redundant.

Rack 10000 G2 series Cabinets

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling
efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 G2 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for
maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.

CAUTION:

adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow
830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate
airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must
be a minimum of 2.75 inches (7 cm).

If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure

http://www.hp.com/go/supportos

and our driver download page

CAUTION:

This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack.
