Hpe Infosight For Servers; Usb Support; External Usb Functionality; Redundant Rom Support - HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen10 User Manual

During the initial provisioning of the server or compute module, an array is required to be configured before the operating
system can be installed. You can configure the array using SSA.
HPE SSA is accessible both offline (either through HPE Intelligent Provisioning or as a standalone bootable ISO image)
and online:
• Accessing HPE SSA in the offline environment
IMPORTANT: If you are updating an existing server in an offline environment, obtain the latest version of HPE
SSA through Service Pack for ProLiant before performing configuration procedures.
Using one of multiple methods, you can run HPE SSA before launching the host operating system. In offline mode,
users can configure or maintain detected and supported devices, such as optional Smart Array controllers and
integrated Smart Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features are only available in the offline environment, such as
setting the boot controller and boot volume.
• Accessing HPE SSA in the online environment
This method requires an administrator to download the HPE SSA executables and install them. You can run HPE SSA
online after launching the host operating system.
For more information, see HPE Smart Array SR Gen10 Configuration Guide at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

HPE InfoSight for servers

The HPE InfoSight portal is a secure web interface hosted by HPE that allows you to monitor supported devices through a
graphical interface.
HPE InfoSight for servers:
• Combines the machine learning and predictive analytics of HPE InfoSight with the health and performance monitoring
of Active Health System (AHS) and HPE iLO to optimize performance and predict and prevent problems
• Provides automatic collection and analysis of the sensor and telemetry data from AHS to derive insights from the
behaviors of the install base to provide recommendations to resolve problems and improve performance

USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers support all USB operating speeds depending on the device
that is connected to the server.

External USB functionality

Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides external USB support to enable local connection of USB devices for server
administration, configuration, and diagnostic procedures.
For additional security, external USB functionality can be disabled through USB options in UEFI System Utilities.

Redundant ROM support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a single
ROM that acts as two separate ROM images. 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.
