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, 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
(

Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant
ROM support. The server has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-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.
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each
side of the ROM.
Safety and security benefits
When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and
saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate
ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature
protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while
flashing the ROM.
Access to redundant ROM settings
To access the redundant ROM through RBSU:
1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key during powerup when the prompt is
displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Select Advanced Options.
