Larger MPS values can enable the optimization to gain higher performance. MPS Optimization is supported on PCIe systems running HP-UX, Open VMS, and Linux. System firmware level greater than 01.01 performs an optimization during boot time to set the MPS value to the largest size supported by the PCIe root port and the devices below it.
Page 17: Pci Expansion Blade
The maximum amount of memory supported in the server blade is 96 GB (twelve 8-GB DIMMs). The DIMMs used in the server blade are low-profile (1.2” tall) DIMMs. The DIMMs are standard PC2-4200 registered. Only HP qualified DIMMs are supported. DIMMs The memory subsystem supports only DDR2 SDRAM technology utilizing industry-standard 1.2”...
Page 18: Add-On Memory
To locate the HP part number, look at the HP Security/CT Label located on the DIMM. AD344A (2 x 2 GB DIMMs) memory with the HP part number AB565DX cannot be mixed on the same physical rank as 2 GB memory with the AB565CX, AB565BX, or AB565AX HP part number.

In general, if the operating system (HP-UX) is already running, it is best not to shut it down. Use the online support tools. If the OS cannot be booted, use the offline support tools to resolve the problem. The offline support tools are available from the EFI partition.
Page 96: Online Support Tool Availability
Online Support Tools List The following online support tools are available on HP-UX 1 1.23 and HP-UX 1 1.31 hosted server blades. In some cases, a tool, such as a disk exerciser, is generic to many types of hardware; in other cases, a tool, such as a tape diagnostic, is specific to a particular technology or type of tape drive.

Page 151: Extensible Firmware Interface
NOTE: EFI and Pre-OS System Environment (POSSE) are similar. EFI is an Intel specification, whereas POSSE is the HP implementation that aids HP support. EFI consolidates boot utilities similar to those found in PA-RISC based servers, such as the Boot Console Handler (BCH), and platform firmware into a single platform firmware.

Figure 83 EFI Boot Sequence The EFI boot manager loads EFI applications (including the OS first stage loader) and EFI drivers from an EFI-defined file system or image loading service. Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) variables point to the file to be loaded. These variables contain application-specific data that is passed directly to the EFI application.
