Standard Features
HP Server ROM HP ROM (Read Only Memory) is now digitally signed using HP's Corporate Signing Service. This
signature is verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and
preventing malicious efforts to corrupt system ROM.
HP 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.
HP 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.
HP's 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 HP ROM-Based
Setup Utility (RBSU).
NOTE: For further information, please refer to HP's RBSU (ROM based setup utility) user guide:
www.hp.com/support/rbsu.
Storage Controller HP Dynamic Smart Array B120i Controller
NOTE: HDD bays 1 and 2 support 6.0Gb/s SATA. HDD bays 3 and 4 support 3.0Gb/s SATA.
NOTE: Supports RAID 0/1/10 only. No FBWC support. For FBWC, a standup Smart Array
Controller card must be configured.
NOTE: For more information about the controller and its features, see the HP Dynamic Smart
Array RAID
Controller User Guide on the HP website: (http://www.hp.com/support/DSA_RAID_UG_en).
NOTE: To configure arrays, see the Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers
Reference Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/CASAC_RG_en).
