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 (

).

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 SCSI hard drives, and memory modules.

For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or

the HP SIM website (

ROMPaq utility

Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To

upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive and boot the system.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available ROM
revisions. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
