Mode; there is no support for Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. To prevent errors in installing the operating system, recognizing boot media, and other boot-related errors, observe the relevant UEFI requirements. For more information on these requirements, see Important UEFI Requirements (for HPE ProLiant Thin Micro Servers) on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Registering for HPE remote support About this task HPE remote support provides automatic submission of hardware events to Hewlett Packard Enterprise to prevent downtime and enable faster issue resolution. You can register directly to Hewlett Packard Enterprise or through an Insight RS Hosting Device. For more information, see the Insight Control documentation on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Operations Server warnings and cautions WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove power from the server by removing the power cord. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not shut off system power.
Electrostatic discharge Preventing electrostatic discharge About this task To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode. • Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than four seconds to force the server to enter standby mode. This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.

• Secure Boot and remains enabled. • The Secure Boot Database is not restored to its default state. • iSCSI Software Initiator configuration settings are not restored to defaults. Embedded UEFI shell The system BIOS includes an Embedded UEFI Shell in the ROM. The UEFI Shell environment provides an API, a command-line prompt, and a set of CLIs that allow scripting, file manipulation, and system information.
Utilities and features Automatic Server Recovery ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded.
Safety and security benefits When you flash the system ROM, the flashing mechanism writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason.
