HPE ProLiant XL190r Gen9 Server
Overview
HPE ProLiant XL190r Gen9 Server
The ProLiant XL190r Gen9 Server is a 2U half-width, 2 processor server with the same configuration options as the XL170r for CPU
and memory, but has additional PCIe slots in multiple configurations providing support for add
support for two (2) integrated accelerators per server (GPUs or Coprocessors).
This server leverages Intel’s latest Xeon E5

HPE ROM (Read Only Memory) is now digitally signed using the HPE Corporate 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 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.
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:

HPE ProLiant servers. Following are some of the features that UEFI enables and that the
ProLiant XL190r Gen9 can support when configured for UEFI boot operation:
Secure Boot - A new feature in which the system firmware, option card firmware, operating
y standard functionality and features
systems, and software collaborate to greatly enhance platform security.
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.
E:
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 necessary for video
operations in Windows.
