Setup HPE support services Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, HPE support services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HPE ProLiant systems. HPE support services let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package. A number of service level options are available to meet your business and IT needs.
6. Configure the server (Configuring the server on page 53). 7. Install or deploy an operating system (Installing or deploying an operating system on page 53). 8. Register your server (Registering the server on page 54). Operational requirements Space and airflow requirements To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack: •...
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: • Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices. Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
Rack warnings WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
◦ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin. ◦...
• Be sure to read the HPE UEFI requirements for ProLiant servers on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. If UEFI requirements are not met, you might experience boot failures or other errors when installing the operating system. • Update firmware before using the server for the first time, unless software or components require an older version.
Product QuickSpecs For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs). Introduction If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
Power supply options Hot-plug power supply calculations For hot-plug power supply specifications and calculators to determine electrical and heat loading for the server, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Power Advisor website (http://www.hpe.com/info/ poweradvisor/online).

7. Install the air baffle. 8. Install the access panel. 9. Install the server into the rack. Memory options IMPORTANT: This server does not support mixing LRDIMMs and RDIMMs. Attempting to mix any combination of these DIMMs can cause the server to halt during BIOS initialization. All memory installed in the server must be of the same type.
4096 SmartMemory HPE SmartMemory is included in each Gen10 ProLiant Server. Hewlett Packard Enterprise works closely with leading memory device manufacturers in the development, qualification, and production testing of DIMMs to ensure that they meet the tighter tolerances specified by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current DRAM technology supports 8 GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 16 GB, and a quad-rank DIMM would be 32 GB, and an octal-rank LRDIMM would be 64 GB. LRDIMMs are labeled as quad- and octal-rank DIMMs.
Advanced ECC—Provides up to 4-bit error correction. This mode is the default option for this server. AMP options are configured in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). For more information, see the UEFI System Utilities User Guide for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers and HPE Synergy on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

HPE iLO 5 iLO 5 is a remote server management processor embedded on the system boards of HPE ProLiant servers and Synergy compute modules. iLO enables the monitoring and controlling of servers from remote locations.
iLO Federation iLO Federation enables you to manage multiple servers from one system using the iLO web interface. When configured for iLO Federation, iLO uses multicast discovery and peer-to-peer communication to enable communication between the systems in an iLO Federation group. When an iLO Federation page loads, a data request is sent from the iLO system running the web interface to its peers, and from those peers to other peers until all data for the selected iLO Federation group is retrieved.
RESTful Interface Tool The RESTful Interface Tool (iLOrest) is a scripting tool that allows you to automate HPE server management tasks. It provides a set of simplified commands that take advantage of the iLO RESTful API. You can install the tool on your computer for remote use or install it locally on a server with a Windows or Linux Operating System.

For more information about supported operating systems, see http:// www.hpe.com/servers/ossupport. You can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding or removing your own certificates, either from a management console directly attached to the server, or by remotely connecting to the server using the iLO Remote Console.
HPE Smart Storage Administrator HPE SSA is the main tool for configuring arrays on HPE Smart Array SR controllers. It exists in three interface formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. All formats provide support for configuration tasks.
Using one of multiple methods, you can run HPE SSA before launching the host operating system. In offline mode, users can configure or maintain detected and supported devices, such as optional Smart Array controllers and integrated Smart Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features are only available in the offline environment, such as setting the boot controller and boot volume.
