Server deployment The HP ProLiant Easy Set-up CD provides easy, step-by-step, single- and multi-server server utilities to streamline server setup. It provides a user experience consistent with SmartStart: • Boot environment and GUI • Assisted Installation: Windows 2003 Server and Windows 2008 Server drivers • Manual installation: Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server, and Linux drivers (Specific OS support varies by server. For supported versions, refer to QuickSpecs for each server.) • HP Insight Diagnostics • Array Configuration Utility (ACU) to configure array controllers and storage devices • Array Diagnostics Utility (ADU) to perform array controller hardware tests • SmartStart Scripting Toolkit and Smart Components for software and drivers Data security technology with the Trusted Platform Module The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is an optional hardware module that can securely store information such as passwords and encryption keys to authenticate the platform. Administrators can also use TPM to store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. ProLiant G6 servers support an optional TPM v1.2. A rivet supplied with the optional TPM v1.2 module attaches and secures the module to the system board. To prevent possible damage to the TPM module or to the system board, the TPM cannot be removed once it has been installed.4 Summary The HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System is a highly efficient, modular power and cooling infrastructure with a suite of pluggable server modules designed for extreme scale-out deployments. It provides right-sized dense server solutions based on industry standards with lower acquisition cost than traditional rack servers. Designed from the ground up for power efficiency, the ProLiant SL6000 includes server solutions that enhance power efficiency by sharing power supplies and fans to significantly reduce data center costs. The modular design works with existing data center infrastructure to provide a tailored solution that provides for easy serviceability in standard racks. 4 For additional information about the TPM, see the HP technology brief titled "Data security in HP ProLiant servers using the Trusted Platform Module and Microsoft® Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption" at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01681891/c01681891.pdf. 23
