Workstation
XXXX-XXXXENW -- Worldwide — June , 2014
HP DL380z Generation8 (Gen8) Virtual Workstation
The HP DL380z Gen8 Virtual Workstation sets the new standard of 2U rack mount 2-socket rack virtual workstation
solutions for the industry. With enhanced configuration flexibility, unmatched performance, and leading energy efficient
design, the HP DL380z Gen8 offers the perfect solution to address the emerging demands for virtual workstation
capabilities.
The HP DL380z Gen8 Virtual Workstation is a focused 2U 2-socket rack ecosystem solution based on the proven
technologies offered on the HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 server. As such, this QuickSpec will reference supporting
documents that detail the HP Proliant server product offerings and descriptions. This is intentional since the HP DL380z
Gen8 is based on the same technologies.

The HP DL380z Gen8 ROM identifies itself as an HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 platform. This is to
be expected and is correct behavior.
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

the 6-foot NEMA 5-15 to C13 power cord must be ordered separately (AF556A). See Power
Cords section for Worldwide Power Cord options.
To review typical system power ratings use the HP Power Advisor which is available via the

NOTE: Mixing of power supplies in the same system is not supported. All power supplies inside
a system 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, HP Virtual Workstation, 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). Only the 1200W
power supply is available for the DL380z Gen8 Virtual Workstation. 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 system 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 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.

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 or virtual
workstation 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
systems. 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 systems 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 and DL380z Virtual Workstation has
been rigorously tested with specific attention for interaction between
firmware, drivers and agents both within the system. This testing
ensures the highest quality as well as providing the input for HP SUM
to deploy updates taking into account all interdependencies, when
determining the correct updates and order of update deployment.
NOTE: The Service Pack for ProLiant (which includes HP SUM) can
be downloaded from www.hp.com/go/spp/download. More information
can be found: http://www.hp.com/go/SmartUpdate,
