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: 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.

Memory
NOTE: Memory configurations listed do not apply to "Factory Integrated Models".
Memory Population Guidelines

For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool:
www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator

Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:

  • For the HP ProLiant BL280c G6 server with twelve (12) memory slots:
    • There are three (3) channels per processor; six (6) channels per server
    • There are two (2) DIMM slots for each memory channel; twelve (12) total slots.
    • Memory channel 1 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are closest to the processor
    • Memory channel 3 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are furthest from the processor
  • DIMM slots that are white should be populated first
  • Do not mix Unbuffered memory (UDIMMs) with Registered memory (RDIMMs).
  • Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed
  • If only one processor is installed in a 2CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available
  • To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
  • It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible
  • You can only have up to eight (8) ranks installed per channel
  • You can only install two quad-rank DIMMs per channel
  • You can only install two UDIMMs per channel; if available, the third slot in the channel must remain empty
  • Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
  • Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor
  • For memory mirroring mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. Channels 1 and 2 are populated identically
  • For lock-step mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 will be installed in pairs. The paired slots will be 1,4; 2,5; 3;6 on a 3DPC system or 1,3, 2, 4; on a 2DPC system
  • No mixing DIMM voltage; all DIMMs must be the same voltage
DIMM slot/capacity/populated speed table
DIMM Type Registered DIMMS (RDIMMs) Unbuffered with ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs)
DIMM Rank Dual Rank (2R) Quad Rank (4R) Single Rank (1R) Dual Rank (2R)

2 DIMM Per Channel 1066* 1066* 1066 1066* 800 800 1066* 1066*
*Supported at 1333 via setting in ROM based setup utility (RBSU).

NOTES:

  • Mixing DIMM speeds is allowed, but the system processor speed rules always override the DIMM capabilities
  • If you do mix DIMM speeds, the memory bus will default to the minimum clock rate of all DIMMs in the system - even if the slower DIMM is on the other processor
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 1x 1333MHz DIMM in channel 2, you still run at 1066MHz
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 5x 1333MHz DIMMs with 1 DIMM Per Channel (DPC) in each of the other channels, you run at 1066MHz
  • If you install 3DPC in one channel (if applicable) and 1DPC in all other channels, you run at 800MHz
  • 95 Watt CPU's are required for 1333MHz DIMM speeds
  • References to the above MHz speeds are for the various speeds of DDR3 DIMMs; 1333 refers to DDR3-1333, etc.

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
(non-condensing)		 Operating 10 to 85% relative humidity (Rh), 28°C (82.4°F) maximum wet bulb temperature, non-condensing.
Non-operating 5 to 95% relative humidity (Rh), 38.7°C (101.7°F) maximum wet bulb temperature, non-condensing.
Altitude Operating 3050 m (10,000 ft). This value may be limited by the type and number of options installed. Maximum allowable altitude change rate is 457 m/min (1500 ft/min).
Non-operating 9144 m (30,000 ft). Maximum allowable altitude change rate is 457 m/min (1500 ft/min).
