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:

• 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:

NOTE: The UEFI System Utilities function is analogous to the HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) of legacy BIOS. For more information, please visit

https://www.hpe.com/us/en/product-catalog/detail/pip.6935826.html

UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HPE ProLiant servers such as:

• Secure Boot

• Operating system specific functionality

• Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives

• USB 3.0 Stack

• Embedded UEFI Shell

• Mass Configuration Deployment Tool using HPE RESTful API

• PXE boot support for IPv6 networks

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

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

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
