QuickSpecs HP ProLiant SL4540 Generation 8 (Gen8) Server
Overview
How are you going to scale out to petabytes with your current infrastructure?
Big data, largely unstructured such as messages, images, readings from sensors, and GPS signals from cell phones, are growing at an exponential
HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 Server solves the traditional structured database problems when dealing with big data. Implementing a scale-up infrastructure
will invariably result in challenges of data center capacity, spiraling energy costs, infrastructure complexity and inefficiencies because today's siloe
infrastructure is not optimized for scale-out server workloads driven by big data. The SL4540 Gen8 Server is a server purpose-built for big data. A highly
efficient converged design that delivers the right combination of capacity and performance, in the least amount of space and at lower cost, with th
reliability and manageability you expect from HP ProLiant Gen8, the world's most intelligent servers.

HP Server ROM HP ROM (Read Only Memory) is now digitally signed using HP's Corporate Signing Service. This signature is
verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and preventing malicious efforts
to corrupt system ROM.
HP 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.
HP 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.
HP's 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).
Customer-specific BIOS configuration (using the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

Management Engine technologies whitepaper
HP Insight Management HP Service Pack for HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) provide
ProLiant comprehensive approach to firmware and system software maintenance. Together
they provide better operating stability and ensure maximum uptime. The SPP will b
updated at a predictable cadence, typically coinciding with new HP server hardware
launches. By enabling firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and
system software updates in one operation, HP SUM and the SPP offer faster updates
individual servers and dramatically faster updates of entire BladeSystem enclosures
Further improving system uptime and stability is the fact that HP provides 12 mont
support for each Service Pack for ProLiant release.
The user experience around HP SUM and the SPP has been improved in several
ways, starting with the web download. A single web page provides access to a
single download containing both the latest version of HP SUM and the latest
SPP. Optional smaller subsets with only specific types of servers or specific
operating systems are offered to save on download time. The HP SUM
application provides a straightforward, intuitive user interface that guides the
user through the steps of discovery, analyses and update, providing
comprehensive information on available updates, criticality and
interdependencies. This information is also available in reports. By providing
the option of multiple local or shared repositories which can be easily updated

from hp.com, HP SUM provides the tools to optimize stability and consistency
throughout the company. While HP SUM and the SPP recommend the
combinations of firmware and system software that HP has found to be the
best practice, the application gives customers the flexibility to set their own
specific baseline.
The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific
attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within the
server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure components
(Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing ensures the highest
quality as well as providing the input for HP SUM to deploy updates taking into
account all interdepencies, when determining the correct updates and order of
update deployment.
NOTE: The Service Pack for ProLiant (which includes HP SUM) can be

HP SL Advanced Power The SL Advanced Power Manager is an optional rack level solution for the HP ProLiant SL4540 and
SL4545 which enables server-level DC (or hardware) power on and off and server-level monitoring.
Manager
In addition, the SL APM will automatically discover SL hardware components which are
connected into the SL APM solution.
The SL APM does not replace rack PDUs, but is designed to enable the utilization of
basic, low cost, rack PDUs while providing the functionality of 'switched' PDUs (which
provide hardware power on/off of individual servers by turning off the AC power to the
power supplies of a given server). Because the SL servers share power supplies to
optimize power efficiency, using 'switched' PDUs to turn off all the power supplies in
the chassis will result in the loss of all server nodes in that chassis. The SL APM solves
this by allowing server node-level hardware power on/off of the DC power to the
individual server node motherboards.

NOTE: Chart does not represent all possible memory configurations.
For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool: www.hp.com/go/ddr3memor
configurator
Memory Subsystem Architecture
Each Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 family processor socket contains three memory channels that support two DIMMs each for a total of six (6) DIMM p
processor or a grand total of twelve (12) DIMMs for the server. Up to 32GB capacity DIMMs are supported for 384GB of memory (12 DIMM slots
DIMM).
DIMM slot and configuration diagrams
Memory population guidelines
General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines:
Light DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel. For 1 DPC (DIMM per channel) populate light slots only.
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 and to load
the channels similarly whenever possible.
Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (dual-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel. Heaviest load (DIMM with most
ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor
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 memory type and number of installed processors.
HP memory from previous generation servers is not qualified on the SL4540 Gen8 Server. Certain HP SmartMemory features such as me
authentication and enhanced performance may not be supported.
To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HP SmartMemory is required. For additional information,
please see the HP SmartMemory QuickSpecs at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14225_na/14225_na.html.
