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:

• 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
uses BIST (built-in self-test) results to detect a failure and disables the target core-pair upon
subsequent boot.
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
