scalability and reliability, all in a 2U chassis. Supporting the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, the
HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 Server offers greater processing power, up to 3 TB of faster memory, IO of up
to eight PCIe 3.0 slots, plus the intelligence and simplicity of automated management with HPE OneView
and HPE iLO 5.
The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 Server is the ideal server for business critical workloads, virtualization,
server consolidation, database, business processing, and general 4P data-intensive applications where
data center space and the right performance are paramount.

HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Option (864279-B21) works with Gen10 servers with UEFI Mode and not Legacy Mode.
HPE server systems can have a TPM module (of any type) installed only once. It cannot be replaced with any other TPM
About Trusted Platform Module
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a separate processor that monitors the system state. TPM is a passive
component needing to be updated and not able to lock down any component in the system except
access to its own memory. It also provides some cryptographic operations - among them: creating RSA
key pairs, and working with them.
The first verification of signatures happens by code on the CPU, which can be intercepted and replaced.
Emulating a "properly" booted system is possible by sending the right values to the TPM.
HPE supports two version of TPM, the 1.2 device and the 2.0 device. The TPM 2.0 device works with
Gen10 servers that are using a Linux operating system or Microsoft Windows Server 2016. Both TPM 1.2
and 2.0 are compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. These TPM modules are not
compatible with server generations prior to Gen9. Once the TPM module is installed, it locks into place
and cannot be removed, nor can it be replaced with a different TPM device.
HPE Silicon Root of Trust
HPE's Silcon Root of Trust provides protection because as soon as the server is powered on and the iLO
firmware comes alive, it looks into the silicon for the immutable fingerprint that verifies all the firmware
code is valid and uncompromised. Over a million lines of firmware code run, before the operating system
starts, making it essential to confirm that all server essential firmware is free from malware or
compromised code.
Silicon Root of Trust is included with iLO5 Standard with all platforms that contain the iLO5 chip. That
includes ML, DL, Apollo, C-Class Blades, and Synergy Compute Modules. HPE Cloudline and the HPE

HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 Server
Standard Features
Microserver do not have silicon root of trust, since they do not contain an iLO5 silicon chip. This
technology is NOT available on any previous version of HP ProLiant like the Gen9, Gen8, or Gen 7
servers, nor can those previous generations be retrofitted to accommodate the silicon root of trust.
The silicon validates the iLO 5 firmware code before it is fetched and executed. If any malware or
compromised code has been inserted in the iLO 5 firmware, the silicon will detect that, because any
infected firmware code will not match-up with the hash burned into the silicon. From there, the iLO 5
firmware validates the rest of the server firmware, namely the UEFI, CPLD, IE, and ME. The UEFI then
validates the connection to the operating system, thus completing a complete root, or chain, that is
anchored into the silicon.
During operation of the server, HPE has a new technology that conducts run-time firmware validation that
checks the firmware stored in the server. At any point, if compromised code or malware is inserted in
any of the critical firmware, an iLO audit log alert is created to notify the customer that a compromised
has occurred.
In the unlikely event of a breach into the HPE server firmware, after detection has been completed, the
customer may then securely recover the firmware automatically to a previous known good state. HPE
provides this function through a new HPE license called, HPE iLO Advanced Premium Security Edition.
Warranty
This product is covered by a global limited warranty and supported by HPE Services and a worldwide
network of HPE Authorized Channel Partners resellers. 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. Hard drives have either a one year or three year warranty;
refer to the specific hard drive QuickSpecs for details.
Server Warranty includes 3-Year Parts, 3-Year Labor, 3-Year Onsite support with next business day
response. 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:
