HP ProLiant SL270s Generation 8 (Gen8)

The HP ProLiant SL270s Gen8 Server is part of the HP ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System of server solutions designed for the
Hyperscale and High Performance Computing (HPC) market segments. It reduces solution costs, maximizes power efficiency, and
eases customer serviceability.

The HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis can accommodate two 2U, half-width SL270s Gen8 Servers, each individually serviceable. The
SL270s Gen8 is designed for extreme rack level graphics processing unit (GPU) density, with up to 16 accelerators capable of being
implemented in one chassis, reducing the complexity of required adapters and cabling.

The chassis features front cabling and common slot power supplies and fans for ease of service. The HP ProLiant SL270s Server is
ideal for HPC applications in Oil & Gas, Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Research, and Finance.

HP Server ROM

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

Server Power Cords

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

NOTE: HP ProLiant SL servers are primarily connected to PDU's in data center racks so they ship
standard with only a PDU power cord (416151-B21). If a user wishes to power a ProLiant SL server
using a 110V receptacle (NEMA-15), the NEMA power cord must be ordered separately.

NOTE: If customers require a local power cord, they can check the power cord matrix for the
appropriate cord. Please see the following power cord matrix:

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

Power Specifications

To review typical system power ratings, use the HP Power Advisor which is available via download at
URL: www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor.

NOTE: Power Specification and Technical Content for supported power supplies can be found at:

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14209_div/14209_div.html

Common Slot Power
Supplies

NOTE: Mixing of power supplies in the same server is not supported. All power supplies inside a server

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 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 - 750W, 1200W and 1500W - 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.

NOTE: Mixing of power supplies in the same server 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.

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.
Redundant Power: Optional (1+ 1 or n+n redundant) power supplies can be purchased through power
supply option kits (see Power Supplies for part numbers).

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,

QuickSpecs

Standard Features

typically coinciding with new HP server 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 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 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
servers 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 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) can be
downloaded from www.hp.com/go/spp/download. More information can

Configuration Information - Factory Integrated Models

Page 14

NOTE: This section lists some of the steps required to configure a Factory Integrated Model. To ensure only valid configurations
are ordered, HP recommends the use of an HP approved configurator. Contact your local sales representative for information on
configurable product offerings and requirements.

NOTE: Factory Integrated Models must start with a CTO Server.
NOTE: FIO indicates that this option is only available as a factory installable option.
NOTE: All Factory Integrated Models will be populated with sufficient hard drive blanks based on the number of initial hard drives

ordered with the server.
NOTE: s6500 Chassis cannot have a mix of SL270s with SL250s and/or SL230s due to different Carbondale (CD) FW versions. You
will be unable to order such a configuration. SL250s and SL230s can be intermixed in an s6500 chassis because they possess the
same Carbondale (CD) FW versions, but one that differs from SL270s. This rule does not apply to any combination of servers with
Ivy Bridge processors; the Carbondale version in those processors is the same.

Step 1: Base Configuration (choose one from each list unless otherwise noted)

HP Chassis

614167-B21

NOTE: You must choose Power Supplies and fans as the chassis does not include
them.

NOTE: If you already have a s6500 chassis you can buy server trays below.

Step 2: Select Nodes

NOTE: Mixing and matching of half width trays is supported in the s6500 chassis.
NOTE: If you do not fill up chassis with servers, the HP node blank Kit 622372-B21 needs to be ordered for each half width 1U

space unpopulated.
