CAUTION:

Perform a backup before running the System Erase Utility. The utility sets the system

to its original factory state, deletes the current hardware configuration information, including

array setup and disk partitioning, and erases all connected hard drives completely. Refer to the

instructions for using this utility.

Run the Erase Utility if you must erase the system for the following reasons:

You want to install a new operating system on a server with an existing operating system.

You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation.

The Erase Utility can be accessed from the Maintenance Utilities menu of the SmartStart CD ("

SmartStart

software

).

StorageWorks library and tape tools

HP StorageWorks L&TT provides functionality for firmware downloads, verification of device operation,
maintenance procedures, failure analysis, corrective service actions, and some utility functions. It also

provides seamless integration with HP hardware support by generating and emailing support tickets that

deliver a snapshot of the storage system.
For more information, and to download the utility, refer to the StorageWorks L&TT 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 SATA 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 (

).

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 a 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.
