Processor/Chipset

• Processor internal sensors & thermal control protection against over-temperature conditions.

• Cache parity/ECC protects cache data from accidental data corruption.

• Machine Check Architecture (MCA) detects and captures hardware errors such as system bus,

memory ECC, parity, and cache, and improves service time.

• Intel® QPI Protocol Protection allows detection of data errors using a checksum of 8-bits.

• Core Disable for FRB (fault resilient boot) allows a system to power-on despite a failing core-pair. It

Warranty

This product is covered by a global limited warranty and supported by HPE Services and a worldwide network

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/warranty/index.html

Server Blade Enclosure Infrastructure

• Pooled power for true N+N power redundancy through up to six (6) hot-plug, high-efficiency,

common slot enclosure-based power supplies (configuration dependent).

• Up to ten (10) enclosure-based hot-plug HPE Active Cool fans that scale to meet future demands,

optimize airflow, reduce power draw, and improve acoustic performance.

• Dual grid power providing redundant rack enclosure power feeds to the server blade enclosure.

• HPE Dynamic Power Saver Mode monitors the total enclosure power consumption in real time and

automatically adjusts with change in demand for improved efficiency and reliability. HPE Dynamic Power Capping safely limits power usage without impacting performance by capping peak usage instead of average power usage, removes risk to electrical infrastructure with a fast-acting, hardwarebased capping algorithm, and reclaims more power by dynamically controlling power limits based on workload demand.

• Up to eight interconnect modules per server blade enclosure providing four simultaneous redundant

fabrics for FlexFabric, Virtual Connect Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, Pass Thru Ethernet, etc.

• Enclosure crosslinks between adjacent enclosures to provide interconnect module-to-module

connections or as Virtual Connect module stacking links.

• Optional enclosure redundant Onboard Administrator system management module.

of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Authorized Channel Partners. Hardware diagnostic support and repair is available for three years from date of purchase. Support for software and initial setup is available for 90 days from date of purchase. Enhancements to warranty services are available through HPE Care Pack services or customized service agreements. Certain restrictions and exclusions apply. Hard drives have either a one year or three year warranty; refer to specific hard drive QuickSpecs for details.

NOTE: Server warranty includes 3-year Parts, 3-year Labor, 3-year on-site support. Warranty repairs may be accomplished through the use of Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts. These parts fall into two categories:

1) Mandatory CSR parts are designed for easy replacement. A travel and labor charge will result when customers decline to replace a Mandatory CSR part; 2) Optional CSR parts are also designed for easy replacement but may involve added complexity. Customers may choose to have Hewlett Packard Enterprise replace Optional CSR parts at no charge. Additional information regarding worldwide limited warranty and technical support is available at
