HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative
tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities that
consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for
processors, SAS and SATA drives, and memory modules.
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the
HP SIM website ( http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim ).
HP ProLiant SL Advanced Power Manager
HP ProLiant SL Advanced Power Manager is a single point of contact for HP ProLiant Scalable System
administration.
HP ProLiant SL Advanced Power Manager enables:
• Discovery of server rack components by topology

Management Agents
Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management.
The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-party SNMP
management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can
be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to
in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional
information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website
( http://www.hp.com/servers/manage ).
Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has
an 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM
contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.
