HP Entry-Level Power Supplies provide lower-cost options for customers trying to balance their need for enterprise
class efficiency and reliability while maintaining lowest possible hardware costs. All Entry-Level power supply
options have been designed specifically for HP ProLiant Gen9 Essential Series servers.
The HP 550W FIO Power Supply is the standard, non-redundant AC power supply option for most HP ProLiant Gen9
Essential servers. It features Silver-level (89%) certified power efficiency with a set of features optimized for the
Gen9 Essential-series rack and tower servers.
The HP 800W Gold (Redundant)/900W (Non-Redundant) AC Power Input Module with Power Backplane can be
configured to support power redundancy in ProLiant servers that offer only a single power supply bay, providing
additional protection against power loss. With an 80 Plus Gold power efficiency rating (up to 92%), this power
option helps to reduce operating expenses while protecting against trapped power capacity in the data center. Each
power backplane option can support up to two (2) hot-plug AC power input modules.
All pre-configured servers ship with a standard 6-foot IEC C-13/C-14 jumper cord (A0K02A). This jumper cord is also
included with each standard AC power supply option kit. If a different power cord is required, please check the
ProLiant Power Cables web page.
To review the power requirements for your selected system, please use the HP Power Advisor Tool located at
http://www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor.

UEFI/Legacy ROM
HP Server UEFI /Legacy ROM
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides better manageability and more
secured configuration while interacting with your server at boot time. HP ProLiant Gen9 platform defaults to UEFI
and can be factory or field configured for Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.
NOTE: The UEFI System Utilities function is analogous to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) of legacy BIOS. For
more information, please visit http://www.hp.com/go/proliantuefi/docs.
UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HP 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 HP RESTful API.
PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM
For more information please visit http://www.hp.com/go/proliant/uefi.
NOTE: For UEFI Boot Mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured properly to support
UEFI.
NOTE: HP UEFI FIO Setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in Legacy mode in the factory.
