Security - Trusted Platform Module

The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a microcontroller chip that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the server platform. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates and encryption keys. Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption (BitLocker) is a data protection feature available in Windows Server® 2008. BitLocker leverages the enhanced security capabilities of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2. The TPM works with BitLocker to help protect user data and to ensure that a server running Windows Server 2008 has not been tampered with while the system was offline.

NOTE: For more information about TPM, including a white paper, go to www.hp.com/go/TPM.
NOTE:
ProLiant OS pre-installed units will come with the partition required for TPM deployment.
NOTE: The TPM key is unique to every TPM deployed server and must be retained. Misplacing or losing the key could result in data loss.

NOTE: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is required for each server blade connecting to a 10Gb interconnect in bays 3-8 (HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure) or bays 2-4 (HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure).
NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter requires a minimum of 2GB of server memory.
NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Either adapter supports linking at 1000Mbps or 10000Mbps when not connected to a Flex-10 enabled module and will link with all current 1Gb switches at 1Gb.
NOTE: The ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) feature allows for the configuring of a FlexFabric Adapter to any of the supported protocols. For example iSCSI to FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet). Note that a HP Virtual Connect profile takes precedence over the setting in this menu. Also, some FlexFabric Adapters may require that network boot be enabled in order to configure the protocol. If the protocol is configured without enabling network boot with certain FlexFabric Adapters, the protocol may not take effect. Once the protocol has taken effect on the first boot after configuring this option, network boot may be disabled if desired.

Memory

NOTE: Memory configurations listed do not apply to "Factory Integrated Models".
DIMM installation guidelines:
  1. All DIMMs must be PC2-5300 Registered DDR2 DIMMs (667 MHz) or PC2-6400 Registered DDR2 DIMMs (800 MHz).
  2. Both DIMM slots in a memory bank must be populated.
  3. Banks must be populated in sequential alphabetic order, starting with bank A.
  4. Both DIMMs in a memory bank must be identical. Install identical DIMMs as pairs only, starting with DIMM socket 1, bank A.
  5. Multiple advanced memory protection (AMP) modes are supported, based on DIMM population and RBSU selection. The server blade defaults to Advanced ECC.
  6. DIMMs must be installed in decreasing capacity with the largest DIMMs installed in the banks furthest away from each processor.
  7. DIMM banks are active only when the corresponding processor socket is populated.
  8. The memory bus will operate at 800 MHz with four (4) or fewer DIMMs per processor, 667 MHz with six (6) DIMMs per processor, and 533 MHz with eight (8) DIMMs per processor.

To review typical system power ratings use the HP BladeSystem Power Sizer available at: https://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/powercalculator

NOTE: For optimal cooling and system performance the BL685c G6 requires the c7000 enclosure to be configured with 10 fans and the c3000 enclosure to be configured with 6 fans.

System Inlet Temperature Operating 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F) at sea level with an altitude derating of 1.0°C per every 305 m (1.8°F per every 1000 ft) above sea level to a maximum of 3050 m (10,000 ft), no direct sustained sunlight. Maximum rate of change is 10°C/hr (18°F/hr). The upper limit may be limited by the type and number of options installed. System performance may be reduced if operating with a fan fault or above 30°C (86°F).
Non-operating -30° to 60°C (-22° to 140°F), maximum rate of change is 20°C/hr (36°F/hr).
Relative Humidity
