c04123239 – DA – 14208 Worldwide — Version 47 — September 28, 2015
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 guide:

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 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

Advanced ECC uses single device data correction (SDDC) to detect and correct single and all multi-bit
error that occurs within a single DRAM chip. Both x4 and x8 SDDC are supported (x8 requires
lockstep mode).
Memory online spare mode (also known as rank spare mode) detects a rank that is degrading and
switches operation to the spare rank.
Memory Lockstep mode is used to correct a single x8 DRAM device failure on a DIMM. The DIMMs in
each paired memory channel must have identical HP part numbers.
Memory demand and patrol scrubbing to prevent accumulation of correctable errors and reducing
the likelihood of unplanned downtime.
Failed DIMM isolation improves the service time thus improving the overall system availability.
Address parity protection available on RDIMMs and LRDIMMs detects address bit errors to improve
