Customer self repair Hewlett Packard Enterprise products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period Hewlett Packard Enterprise (or Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will ship that part directly to you for replacement.

Operating systems must support Secure Boot and have an EFI boot loader signed with one of the authorized keys to boot. For more information about supported operating systems, see https://www.hpe.com/servers/ossupport. You can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding or removing your own certificates, either from a management console directly attached to the server, or by remotely connecting to the server using the iLO Remote Console.
Rapid Setup Software is only available on the ProLiant 300 Series servers or below. When you launch F10 mode from the POST screen, you are prompted to select whether you want to enter the Intelligent Provisioning or HPE Rapid Setup Software mode.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise strongly recommends that you register your device for remote support to enable enhanced delivery of your Hewlett Packard Enterprise warranty, HPE support services, or Hewlett Packard Enterprise contractual support agreement. Insight Remote Support supplements your monitoring continuously to ensure maximum system availability by providing intelligent event diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of hardware event notifications to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which will initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product’s service level.
HPE Smart Storage Administrator HPE SSA is the main tool for configuring arrays on HPE Smart Array SR controllers. It exists in three interface formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. All formats provide support for configuration tasks. Some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.
