• RAID 60 allows administrators to split the RAID storage across multiple external boxes. It requires a minimum of eight drives, but only four will be available for data. • Advanced Capacity Expansion (ACE) automates higher capacity migration using capacity transformation to remove logical drives by shrinking and then expanding them online. Standard drive migration and expansion remain unchanged. • Mirror Splitting and Recombining in Offline Mode breaks a RAID 1 configuration into two RAID 0 configurations. This is similar to a scaled down rollback functionality that requires two disk drives. • Drive Erase completely erases physical disks or logical volumes. This capability is useful when decommissioning, redeploying, or returning hard drives. • Video On Demand Performance Optimization optimizes performance of video on demand and improves latency during video streaming.

Power and thermal technologies
HP engineers have developed a robust set of power and thermal technologies, and components to
manage power in ProLiant 100-series G6 servers. The technologies improve power efficiency
throughout the power delivery chain in several ways:
Efficient power delivery
Improved thermal sensors and fan control
Phase shedding
Managing processor technologies
Managing memory technologies
Managing I/O technologies
Power efficiency mode
Administrators can disable certain components and capabilities in ProLiant 100-series G6 servers or
reduce capabilities to bring the components to a lower power state.
Efficient power delivery
Power supplies for ProLiant 100-series G6 servers are not hot-pluggable. Common Slot power
supplies are an option in those G6 platforms supporting the Common Slot architecture. Those G6
