configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.

IMPORTANT:

Before using the S7 switch to change to Legacy BIOS Boot Mode, be sure the HPE Dynamic Smart
Array B140i Controller is disabled. Do not use the B140i controller when the server is in Legacy BIOS
Boot Mode.

CAUTION:

Clearing CMOS, NVRAM or both deletes configuration information. Be sure to configure the server
properly to prevent data loss.

NMI functionality

An NMI crash dump creates a crash dump log before resetting a system which is not responding.

Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as failures of operating
systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for

System maintenance switch 13

administrators is to restart the system. Resetting the system erases any information which could support
problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before a
system reset.

To force the system to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, do one of the following:

• Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature.

• Short the NMI header.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shockserver, or damage to the equipment, disconnect the
power cord to remove power from the . Pressing the Power On/Standby button does not shut off system
power completely. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power
is removed.

CAUTION:

Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible
power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage
spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the server for long periods with the access open or removed. Operating the server in this
manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Powering down the server

Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical
server data and programs.

IMPORTANT:

When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.

To power down the server, use one of the following methods:

• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.

This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby
mode.

• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter standby
mode.

This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If
an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.

• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO.

This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.

Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.

Optimum environment

When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in
this section.

Space and airflow requirements

Leave at least a 7.6cm (3in.) clearance space at the front of the back of the server for proper ventilation.

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated,
climate-controlled environment.

The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:

• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

Power requirements

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the
installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to

Setup 23

operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code
for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options,
refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply
branch circuit that provides power to the server. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over
wiring and installation requirements of your facility.

CAUTION:

Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible
power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage
spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

When installing more than one server, you might need to use additional power distribution devices to safely
provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:

• Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits.

• Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80% of the branch circuit AC current rating.

• Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.

• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

For more information on the hot-plug power supply and calculators to determine server power consumption in
various system configurations, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Power Advisor website.

Electrical grounding requirements

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install
the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any
local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian
Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the
equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all
power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or
certified grounding-type devices.

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power
source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the
building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA
locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using
common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

Installing a Smart Array Controler Mini-SAS cable option 45

Storage controller options

The server ships with an embedded Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller. This embedded controller is
supported in UEFI Boot Mode only. For more information about the controller and its features, see the HPE
Dynamic Smart Array B140i RAID Controller User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

Upgrade options exist for an integrated array controller. For a list of supported options, see the product
QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

To configure arrays, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website.

The server supports FBWC. FBWC consists of a cache module and a Smart Storage Battery Pack. The DDR
cache module buffers and stores data being written by an integrated Gen9 P-series Smart Array Controller.

This server supports the 96W Smart Storage Battery Pack. This battery pack can support up to 24 devices.
Devices in this context refer to the Smart Array Controller or NVDIMM associated with the cache module.

The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. If the battery does have low charge, a POST error
message appears when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is temporarily disabled. No
action is necessary. The internal circuitry automatically recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack.
When the system is powered on this process might take approximately 2 hours.

If a system power failure occurs, a fully charged battery pack provides power for up to 150 seconds. During
that interval, the controller transfers the cached data from DDR memory to flash memory, where the data
remains indefinitely or until a controller retrieves the data. The data protection and the time limit also apply if a
power outage occurs. When power is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved
data to the storage drives.

CAUTION:

The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMMs. Do not use the
controller with cache modules designed for other controller models, because the controller can
malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer this cache module to an unsupported controller
model, because you can lose data.

CAUTION:

To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove the battery pack
while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration is in progress.

CAUTION:

After the server is powered down, wait for 30 seconds, and then check the amber LED before
unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED flashes after 30 seconds, do not remove
the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data. Data will be lost if the cable is
detached when the amber LED is still flashing.

Storage controller installation guidelines

Storage controllers may be installed in slot 1 or 4. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends installing a
storage controller in PCIe slot 4 for optimal performance.

An optional front PCI fan must be installed if any PCI cards are installed in the system.

Storage controllers additionally require the appropriate optional cables to connect to storage devices.

Single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs

To understand and configure memory protection modes properly, an understanding of single-, dual-, and
quad-rank DIMMs is helpful. Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications.

A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the
memory. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one
rank accessible at a time. A quad-rank DIMM is, effectively, two dual-rank DIMMs on the same module. Only
one rank is accessible at a time. The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the
DIMM when writing to or reading from the DIMM.

Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example,
if current DRAM technology supports 8-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 16 GB, and a
quad-rank DIMM would be 32 GB.

4

LRDIMMs are labeled as quad-rank DIMMs. There are four ranks of DRAM on the DIMM, but the LRDIMM
buffer creates an abstraction that allows the DIMM to appear as a dual-rank DIMM to the system. The
LRDIMM buffer isolates the electrical loading of the DRAM from the system to allow for faster operation. This
allows higher memory operating speed compared to quad-rank RDIMMs.

DIMM identification

To determine DIMM characteristics, see the label attached to the DIMM and the following illustration and
table.

Use these instructions to install and enable a TPM on a supported server. This procedure includes three
sections in the following chapter:

• Installing the Trusted Platform Module board.

• Retaining the recovery key/password.

• Enabling the Trusted Platform Module.

Enabling the TPM requires accessing the BIOS/Platform Configuration 9RBSU0 in the UEFI System
Utilities.

TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft Windows BitLocker
Drive Encryption feature. For more information on BitLocker, see the Microsoft website.

CAUTION:

Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause hardware
damage or halt data access.

When installing or replacing TPM, observer the following guidelines:

• Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system board.

• When installing or replacing hardware, Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers cannot enable the
TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.

• When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board.
When requested, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.

• Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM security
rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM, administrators should consider the
system compromised and take appropriate measures to ensure the integrity of the system data.

• When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is required to
enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.

• Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For
operating instructions, see the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating
system.

Installing a Trusted Platform Module board

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION:

Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM security

Default configuration settings are applied to the server at one of the following times:

Smart Update Manager 89

• Upon the first system power-up

• After defaults have been restored

Default configuration settings are sufficient for typical server operations; however, you can modify
configuration settings as needed. The system prompts you for access to the UEFI System Utilities each time
the system is powered up.

Flexible boot control

This feature enables you to do the following:

• Add Boot Options:

◦ Browse all FAT16 and FAT32 file systems.
◦ To add a new UEFI boot option, select an X64 UEFI application with an .EFI extension. For example,

adding an OS boot loader or other UEFI application as a new UEFI boot option.

The new boot option is appended to the boot-order list. When you select a file, you are prompted to
enter the boot option description. This description, and any optional data to be passed to an .EFI
application, is then displayed in the boot menu.

• Boot to System Utilities

After pre-POST, the boot options screen appears. During this time, you can access the UEFI System
Utilities by pressing the F9 key.

• Choose between supported modes:

◦ Legacy BIOS Boot Mode
◦ UEFI Boot Mode

IMPORTANT:

If the default boot mode settings are different than the user-defined settings, the system might not
boot the OS installation if the defaults are restored. To avoid this issue, use the User Defined
Defaults feature in UEFI System Utilities to override the factory default settings.

For more information, see the UEFI System Utilities user guide for your product on the Hewlett Packard

Enterprise Information Library.

Restoring and customizing configuration settings

You can reset all configuration settings to the factory default settings, or you can restore and use the system
default configuration settings.

You can also configure default settings as necessary, and then save the configuration as the custom default
configuration. When the system loads the default settings, it uses the custom default settings instead of the
factory defaults.

Secure Boot configuration

Secure Boot is integrated in the UEFI specification on which the Hewlett Packard Enterprise implementation
of UEFI is based. Secure Boot is implemented in the BIOS and does not require special hardware. Secure
Boot ensures that each component launched during the boot process is digitally signed. Secure Boot also
ensures that the signature is validated against a set of trusted certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS.
Secure Boot validates the software identity of the following components in the boot process:

• UEFI drivers loaded from PCIe cards

• UEFI drivers loaded from mass storage devices

• Preboot UEFI shell applications

• OS UEFI boot loaders

90 Flexible boot control

When enabled, only firmware components and operating systems with boot loaders that have an appropriate
digital signature can execute during the boot process. Only operating systems that support Secure Boot and
have an EFI boot loader signed with one of the authorized keys can boot. For more information about
supported operating systems, see the UEFI System Utilities and Shell release notes for your server on the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

A physically present user can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding or removing
their own certificates.

When Secure Boot is enabled, the System Maintenance Switch does not restore all manufacturing defaults
when set to the ON position. For security reasons, the following are not restored to defaults when the System
Maintenance Switch is in the ON position:

• Secure Boot is not disabled and remains enabled.

• The Boot Mode remains in UEFI Boot Mode even if the default boot mode is Legacy Boot Mode.

• The Secure Boot Database is not restored to its default state.

• iSCSI Software Initiator configuration settings are not restored to defaults.

Embedded UEFI shell

The system BIOS in all ProLiant Gen9 servers includes an Embedded UEFI Shell in the ROM. The UEFI
Shell environment provides an API, a command-line prompt, and a set of CLIs that allow scripting, file
manipulation, and system information. These features enhance the capabilities of the UEFI System Utilities.

For more information, see the following documents:

• UEFI Shell User Guide for HPE ProLiant Gen9 Servers on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website

• UEFI Shell Specification on the UEFI website

Embedded Diagnostics option

The system BIOS in all ProLiant Gen9 servers includes an Embedded Diagnostics option in the ROM. The
Embedded Diagnostics option can run comprehensive diagnostics of the server hardware, including
processors, memory, drives, and other server components.

For more information on the Embedded Diagnostics option, see the UEFI System Utilities user guide for your
server on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

iLO RESTful API support for UEFI

The ProLiant Gen9 servers include support for a UEFI-compliant System BIOS, along with UEFI System
Utilities and Embedded UEFI Shell preboot environments. ProLiant Gen9 servers also support configuring the
UEFI BIOS settings using the iLO RESTful API, a management interface that server management tools can
use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring of a ProLiant server. The iLO RESTful API uses basic
HTTPS operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and PATCH) to submit or return JSON-formatted data with
iLO web server.

For more information about the iLO RESTful API and the RESTful Interface Tool, see the Hewlett Packard

Enterprise website.

Utilities and features

HPE Smart Storage Administrator

The HPE SSA is a configuration and management tool for HPE Smart Array controllers. Starting with HPE
ProLiant Gen8 servers, HPE SSA replaces ACU with an enhanced GUI and additional configuration features.

The HPE SSA exists in three interface formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA
Scripting. Although all formats provide support for configuration tasks, some of the advanced tasks are
available in only one format.

Some HPE SSA features include the following:

• Supports online array capacity expansion, logical drive extension, assignment of online spares, and RAID
or stripe size migration

• Provides diagnostic and SmartSSD Wear Gauge functionality on the Diagnostics tab

• For supported controllers, provides access to additional features.

For more information about HPE SSA, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such
as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System
Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning
properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires
and restarts the server.

ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang. You can
disable ASR from the System Management Homepage or through UEFI System Utilities.

USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers support both USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 ports. Both port types support
installing all types of USB devices (USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0), but might run at lower speeds in specific
situations:

92 Utilities and features

• USB 3.0 capable devices operate at USB 2.0 speeds when installed in a USB 2.0 port.

• In UEFI Boot Mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment
before the operating system loading for USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 speeds.

• In Legacy BIOS Boot Mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot
environment before the operating system loading for USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 speeds. USB 3.0 ports can be
used with all devices in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode but are not available at USB 3.0 speeds in the preboot
environment. Standard USB support (USB support from within the operating system) is provided by the
OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Support for USB 3.0 varies by operating system.

The pre-OS behavior and default operation of the USB ports is configurable in the UEFI System Utilities. For
more information, see the UEFI System Utilities user guide for your product on the Hewlett Packard

Enterprise website.

External USB functionality

Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides external USB support to enable local connection of USB devices for
server administration, configuration, and diagnostic procedures.

For additional security, external USB functionality can be disabled through USB options in UEFI System
Utilities.

Redundant ROM support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has
a single ROM that acts as two separate ROM images. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM
contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.

NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.

Safety and security benefits

When you flash the system ROM, the flashing mechanism writes over the backup ROM and saves the current
ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes
corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power
failure while flashing the ROM.

Keeping the system current

Updating firmware or System ROM

Multiple methods exist to update the firmware or System ROM:

• Service Pack for ProLiant

• FWUPDATE utility

• FWUpdate command from within the Embedded UEFI Shell
