HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less
installation into HPE ProLiant Gen11 Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and
offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility
helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
All pre-configured servers ship with a standard 6-foot IEC C-13/C-14 jumper cord (A0K02A). This jumper cord is also included
with each standard AC power supply option kit. If a different power cord is required, please check the ProLiant Power Cables web
page.

HPE Server UEFI

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides better manageability and more secured
configuration than the legacy ROM while interacting with your server at boot time. HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers have a UEFI Class
2 implementation.
Notes: The UEFI System Utilities tool is analogous to the HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) of legacy BIOS. For more
information, please visit http://www.hpe.com/servers/uefi.
UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HPE ProLiant servers such as
• Secure Boot and Secure Start enabled for enhanced security
• Operating system specific functionality
• Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives
• Embedded UEFI Shell
• Mass Configuration Deployment Tool using iLO RESTful API that is Redfish API Conformant
• PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
• Workload Profiles for simple performance optimization
UEFI Boot Mode only
• TPM 2.0 Support
• NVMe Boot Support
• iSCSI Software Initiator Support.
• HTTP/HTTPs Boot support as a PXE alternative.
• Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM
Notes:
− For UEFI Boot Mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured properly to support UEFI.
− Enabling TPM 2.0 no longer requires TPM module option kit for Gen11. It is an embedded feature.

Configuration Information

Smart Templates from HPE

HPE is releasing new Smart Template technology in the One Config Advanced (OCA) configurator. These Templates represent the
CTO equivalents of the top-selling BTO configurations. They are intended to provide simple starting points to assist you in easily
creating and customizing your desired Server solutions. HPE Servers that have Platform Templates, developed by HPE Product
Managers, will have a separate tab in the HPE OCA configurator.

Workload Solutions Templates from HPE

The Workload Solutions Templates build on the Smart Templates technology to easily develop working configurations of the most
compelling Workload Solutions. The templates complement the Reference Builds developed by HPE. Workload Solutions templates
preconfigure some of the key architecture decisions and make it easier for Sellers to get started and complete a differentiated
server solution for your customer’s specific workload.

Mainstream SKUs
HPE launched the Mainstream SKU initiative as a market-driven approach to Demand Steering. It is a simplified portfolio of our top
selling options that meet the current and future market trends. HPE has committed to provide a more predictable and faster
experience for these options. Mainstream SKUs enjoy higher safety stock levels and have higher fulfilment service levels than non-
Mainstream SKUs. Mainstream orders are fulfilled +30% faster than non-Mainstream orders, have fewer shortages and better
recovery dates. This platform has Mainstream SKUs in the options portfolio, and is eligible for the improved Mainstream
experience. Mainstream SKUs are designated with a Mainstream symbol in our configurators.

Mainstream Configurations
HPE is using the new Smart Templates technology to present Mainstream configurations. All the options in a Mainstream
configuration are pre-selected Mainstream SKUs to optimize the performance, predictability and fulfilment experience. Check the
Template section in our configurators for eligible Mainstream configurations.

European Union ErP Lot 9 Regulation

Beginning on January 1st, 2024, units sold into the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom,
Ireland, Switzerland or Turkey, must include more efficient AC power supplies: 94% for multi-output and 96% for single-output. HPE
Flexible Slot power supplies are single-output, and part numbers 865438-B21, P03178-B21, and P44712-B21 are 96% efficient,
thus meeting requirements.

HPE is on target to fulfil compliant systems ahead of time and will begin enforcing these requirements in advance to satisfy
requests with the current power supplies by the set deadline.
This section lists some of the steps required to configure a Factory Integrated Model. To ensure only valid configurations are
ordered, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of an HPE approved configurator. Contact your local sales
representative for information on configurable product offerings and requirements.
• Factory Integrated Models must start with a CTO Server.
• FIO indicates that this option is only available as a factory installable option.
• All Factory Integrated Models will be populated with sufficient hard drive blanks based on the number of initial hard drives
ordered with the server.
• Some options may not be integrated at the factory. Contact your local sales representative for additional information.

selected
− If Processor is above 300W then Mid Cage cannot be selected
Step 2b: Choose Memory Options
Please select one or more memory from below.
For new Gen11 memory population rule whitepaper and optimal memory performance guidelines, please go to:
https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a50007481enw
For additional information, please see the HPE DDR5 Smart Memory QuickSpecs.
For Gen11 memory speed table, please go to: Server memory population rules for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers with AMD
EPYC 9004 series processors
Notes:
− Memory DIMM availability with a server platform is dependent upon completion of certification testing.
− The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
− System may throttle if ambient temp. is over 30C.
− Memory compatibility may vary or be limited within a specific server family depending upon the specific configuration
being requested. Because each server environment and requirements can vary, memory compatibility is based not only
upon the server family, but may also be affected by the amount and type of additional hardware options installed within a
specific server configuration. For this reason, some HPE memory DIMMs may be qualified for a server model or family and
yet occasionally not be supported with limited configurations within that server family. Please consult with the HPE server
QuickSpecs or your HPE representative if you have any questions regarding memory compatibility with a specific HPE
server configuration.

HPE Power Supplies and Power Related Option Kits
HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less
installation into HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation
and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This
flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
Notes:
− Prior to making a power supply selection it is highly recommended that the HPE Power Advisor is run to
determine the right size power supply for your server configuration. The HPE Power Advisor is located at:
https://poweradvisorext.it.hpe.com/?Page=Index
− HPE ProLiant servers ship with an IEC-IEC power cord used for rack mounting with Power Distribution
Units (PDUs). Visit HPE Power Cords and Cables for a full list of optional power cords.

Rack and Power Infrastructure

The story may end with servers, but it starts with the foundation that makes compute go – and business grow. We’ve reinvented
our entire portfolio of rack and power products to make IT infrastructure more secure, more practical, and more efficient. In other
words, we have created a stronger, smarter, and simpler infrastructure to help you get the most out of your IT equipment. As an
industry leader, Hewlett Packard Enterprise is uniquely positioned to address the key concerns of power, cooling, cable
management and system access.
HPE G2 Advanced and Enterprise Racks are perfect for the server room or today’s modern data center with enhanced airflow and
thermal management, flexible cable management, and a 10 year Warranty to support higher density computing.
HPE G2 PDUs offer reliable power in flexible form factors that operate at temperatures up to 60°C, include color-coded outlets and
load segments and a low-profile design for optimal access to the rack and support for dense rack environments.
HPE Uninterruptible Power Systems are cost-effective power protection for any type workload. Some UPSs include options for
remote management and extended runtime modules so your critical dense data center is covered in power outages.
HPE KVM Solutions include a console and switches designed to work with your server and IT equipment reliably. We’ve got a cost-
effective KVM switch for your first rack and multiple connection IP switches with remote management and security capabilities to
keep your data center rack up and running.

Memory

-------- Front side of the server --------

General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines

• Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
• If only one processor is installed in a two-processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
• To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors.
• When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
• The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
• The maximum memory capacity is a function of the number of DIMM slots on the platform, the largest DIMM capacity
qualified on the platform, the number and model of installed processors qualified on the platform.
• To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HPE DDR5 Smart Memory is required. For
additional information, please see the: HPE DDR5 Smart Memory QuickSpecs
• For General Server Memory Population Rules and Guidelines and HPE Server Memory speed, see details here:

To view the regulatory information for your product, view the Safety and Compliance Information for Server, Storage, Power,
Networking, and Rack Products, available at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center:
http://www.hpe.com/support/Safety-Compliance-EnterpriseProducts

Acoustic Noise
Listed are the declared mean A-Weighted sound power levels (LwAm), declared average bystander position A-Weighted sound
pressure levels (LpAm) and the statistical adder for verification, Kv, is a quantity to be added to the declared mean A-weighted
sound power level, LwA,m when the product is operating in a 23°C ambient environment. Noise emissions were measured in
accordance with ISO 7779 (ECMA 74) and declared in accordance with ISO 9296 (ECMA 109). The listed sound levels apply to
standard shipping configurations. Additional options may result in increased sound levels. Please have your HPE representative
provide information from the HPE EMESC website for further technical details regarding the configurations listed below.
Idle
LWAd 5.0 B Base
LpAm 36 dBA Base
Operating
LWAd 5.5 B Base
LpAm 37 dBA Base

Notes:
− The declared mean A-weighted sound power level, LWA,m, is computed as the arithmetic average of the measured.
− A-weighted sound power levels for a randomly selected sample, rounded to the nearest 0,1 B.
− The declared mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level, LpA,m, is computed as the arithmetic average of the
measured A-weighted emission sound pressure levels at the bystander positions for a randomly selected sample, rounded
to the nearest 1 dB.
− The statistical adder for verification, Kv, is a quantity to be added to the declared mean A-weighted sound power level,
LWA,m, such that there will be a 95 % probability of acceptance, when using the verification procedures of ISO 9296, if no
more than 6,5 % of the batch of new equipment, has A-weighted sound power levels greater than (LWA,m + Kv).
− The quantity, LWA,c (formerly called LWAd), can be computed from the sum of LWA,m and Kv.
− All measurements made to conform to ISO 7779 / ECMA-74 and declared to conform to ISO 9296 / ECMA-109.
− B, dB, abbreviations for bels and decibels, respectively, where 1 B = 10 dB.
− The results in this declaration apply only to the model numbers listed above when operating and tested according to the
indicated modes and standards. A system with additional configuration components or increased operating functionality
may increase the noise emission values.
