selected storage. HP recommends using HP SIM to monitor the performance of your systems. NOTE: You must install and use SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors, SAS, SCSI, and SATA hard drives, and memory modules. Key SIM benefits include: • System discovery and identification - HP P2000 | HP BladeSystem Deployment Guide for Solutions with 6Gb SAS Switches a - Page 34
downloading firmware via a USB flash drive. Before using the RMI, you must configure the device's network and set the administrator password with the operator control panel (OCP). TIP: Check the Help screens in the RMI for additional information. The help pages are updated with most firmware updates - HP P2000 | HP BladeSystem Deployment Guide for Solutions with 6Gb SAS Switches a - Page 35
, you can monitor, configure, and operate most Library or Autoloader functions from the front panel. Use the control buttons to scroll through the menu.
