HP ProLiant SL4540 G8 Specification

How are you going to scale out to petabytes with your current infrastructure?

Big data, largely unstructured such as messages, images, readings from sensors, and GPS signals from cell phones, are growing at an
exponential rate. The HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 Server solves the traditional structured database problems when dealing with big data.
Implementing a scale-out infrastructure will invariably result in challenges of data center capacity, spiraling energy costs,
infrastructure complexity and inefficiencies because today's siloed infrastructure is not optimized for scale-out server workloads
driven by big data. The SL4540 Gen8 Server is a server purpose-built for big data. A highly efficient converged design that delivers the
right combination of capacity and performance, in the least amount of space and at lower cost, with the reliability and manageability
you expect from HP ProLiant Gen8, the world's most intelligent servers.

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 (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

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 power cord, they can check the power cord matrix for the appropriate cord.
Please see the following power cord matrix:

Power Specifications

To review typical system power ratings use the HP Power Advisor which is available via the online tool

Common Slot Power
Supply

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 two power output
options - 750W, and 1200W - allowing the user 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. 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:

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.

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

www.80Plus.org

.

NOTE:

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

HP iLO Management
Engine

HP iLO Management Engine is a comprehensive set of embedded management
features supporting the complete lifecycle of the server, from initial
deployment, through ongoing management, to service alerting and remote
support. HP iLO Management Engine comes standard on all HP ProLiant Gen8
servers. The HP iLO Management Engine portfolio includes:

HP iLO:

The HP iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) management processor is

the core foundation for the HP iLO Management Engine

HP Agentless Management:

Provides built in server health monitoring
and alerting capability without OS agents, that starts working the
moment a power cord and an Ethernet cable are connected.

HP Active Health System:

Always on, continuous monitoring for
increased stability and shorter downtimes; 100% configuration history;
Health and service alerts and easy export and upload to Service and
Support.

HP Intelligent Provisioning:

Lets customers provision and configure a
single server without any separate media. No more SmartStart CDs or
Smart Update Firmware DVD are needed.

To start Intelligent Provisioning:

Press the F10 key during the ProLiant Gen8 server boot
process (also known as power on self test or POST).

HP Service Pack for
ProLiant

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 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
