ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or through RBSU. ROMPaq utility The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online Flash Components for Windows and Linux operating systems are available for updating the system firmware. The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware revisions. For more information, see the Download drivers and software page for the server.

The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3 independent of the host server and its operating system. In addition to remote management features, iLO 3 is also responsible for managing the health of the ProLiant server. The intelligence of iLO 3 manages the Sea of Sensors thermal control, directs the Dynamic Power Capping technology, and monitors the health of server components. The iLO 3 subsystem provides secure remote access from any authorized network client. The enhancements to iLO 3 enable customers to get work done faster by providing turbo-charged remote access performance, a streamlined user experience, and enhanced standards support. Using iLO 3, you can do the following: • Access a high-performance and secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere in the world. • Use the shared iLO 3 Remote Console to collaborate with up to six server administrators. • Remotely mount high-performance Virtual Media devices to the server. • Securely and remotely control the power state of the managed server. • Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server. • Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface. For more information about iLO 3 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced for BladeSystem license), see the iLO 3 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ilo).
