HPE Server ROM
HPE ROM (Read Only Memory) is now digitally signed using the HPE Corporate Signing Service. This
signature is verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and preventing
malicious efforts to corrupt system ROM.
HPE ROM provides for essential initialization and validation of hardware components before control is
passed to the customer-installed operating system. The ROM also provides the capability of booting
from various fixed media (HDD, CD-ROM) and removable media (USB), to continue operation to the
operating system.
HPE ROM performs very early configuration of the video controller, to allow monitoring of initialization
progress via an attached monitor. If configuration or hardware errors are discovered during this early
phase of hardware initialization, suitable messages are now displayed on the connected monitor.
Additionally, these configuration or hardware errors are logged to the Integrated Management Log
(IML) to assist in diagnosis.
The HPE ProLiant ROM is used to configure the following:
•
Processor and chipset status registers
•
System memory, memory map, and memory initialization
•
System hardware configuration (Integrated PCI devices and optional PCIe cards).
