Signing Service. This signature is verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and preventing malicious efforts to corrupt system ROM.

HPE ROM provides for essential initialization and validation of hardware compon 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.

HPE 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. The HPE 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 HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

NOTE: For further information, please refer to the HPE RBSU (ROM based setup utility) user guide:

Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) or Legacy Mode

specifications which supports both legacy boot and UEFI boot operation. The HPE ProLiant Xl170r Gen9 defaults to UEFI boot operation and can be factory or field configured for Legacy boot operation.

NOTE: For UEFI boot operation, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured properly to support UEFI.

NOTE: For more information on Hewlett Packard Enterprise's ProLiant System BIOS and UEFI, see the

UEFI Information Library: http://www.hpe.com/go/uefi/docs NOTE: HPE Legacy FIO Mode Setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in UEFI mode in the factory. To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press F9 in the HPE ProLiant POST screen to enter the UEFI System Utilities screen. By default, the System Utilities menus are in the English language. UEFI enables numerous new capabilities, including both industry standard functionality and features specific to HPE ProLiant servers. Following are some of the features that UEFI enables and that the HPE ProLiant Xl170r Gen9 can support when configured for UEFI boot operation:

• Secure Boot - A new feature in which the system firmware, option card firmware, operating

HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers offer a new networking technology-Flexible

the choice of 1Gigabit, 10Gigabit, InfiniBand or FlexibleLOM solutions

Operating system specific functionality - Microsoft Windows 2012 supports several features only when installed in UEFI mode.

• Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives - Such drives could previously only be used for

boot drives when using RAID solutions such as HPE Smart Array.

• UEFI Shell - Provides a pre-boot environment for running scripts and tools. The HPE ProLiant

UEFI Shell provides both standard capabilities as well as numerous enhancements.

• PXE boot support for IPv6 networks.

• PXE Multicast Boot allowing for faster PXE deployments for large numbers of servers.

• Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM.

NOTE: When the server is configured for UEFI Boot Mode, PXE servers must be configured with a UEFI

boot image. When the server boots in UEFI mode, it does not boot media with a legacy OS installation. This includes DOS targets and Windows or Linux systems installed in Legacy mode. The reverse is also true for servers that boot in Legacy mode. If Microsoft Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 is used in UEFI Boot Mode, UEFI Optimized Mode must be disabled (this option is enabled by default). This is required to work around an issue in Windows 2008 / 2008 R2 that requires legacy BIOS components
