the power consumption of an entire rack of ProLiant Gen8 servers. HP Location Discovery Services eliminates the tedious tasks of manually entering server locations in HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Insight Control. Processors We use Xeon E5-2600 series processors in 2P ProLiant Gen8 servers and - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 4
Core Microarchitecture Sandy Bridge. Xeon E5-2600 series processors in our ProLiant Gen8 servers have two, four, six, or eight cores that operate from 60 W (Xeon LP) to 135 W. These processors feature an integrated northbridge and memory controller. The processors work with Registered (R) DIMMs, - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 5
ProLiant Gen8 servers support HP SmartMemory and enhanced memory protection with HP Advanced Memory Error Detection Technology. HP SmartMemory HP SmartMemory is HP Qualified Memory that has unique performance and power consumption characteristics when installed in ProLiant Gen8 servers.

, 2x InfiniBand, and FlexFabric options. HP ProLiant Smart Storage ProLiant Gen8 servers use HP Smart Array P-Series Controllers, HP Dynamic Smart Array B-Series Controllers, and H-Series Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). The servers also accommodate HP IO accelerators, which can drive down costs in high - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 9
include RAID 5 support with cache and hot-plug drive support. A 512 MB FBWC module option is available for both controllers. HP SmartDrive For our ProLiant Gen8 servers, we designed the HP SmartDrive for improved drive density, drive status indication, and serviceability.

Support Packs, and HP Smart Update Manager. Then we enclosed them in an intuitive user interface and embedded them in a NAND flash chip on the motherboard. All the up-to-date tools, drivers, and agents you need to set up, deploy, and maintain your system are there when you power up any ProLiant Gen8 - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 12
with its assigned baseline. A baseline is a set of software and firmware that has been tested to work together on a particular server. This requires a VCA on every server. On ProLiant Gen 8 servers running HP SIM 7.0, users can assign the software and firmware versions that should be installed.

of technical support from the month that we release the SPP. Service Pack for ProLiant An SPP is a comprehensive release set of systems software (drivers, agents, utilities) and firmware for all HP ProLiant SL, ML, and DL 300-, 500-, 700-, and 900-series servers and BL series servers, as wells - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 14
Virtual Connect update times. It supports HP CloudSystem. HP Rack technologies Our latest generation of racks has higher airflow efficiency and is deeper to accommodate ProLiant Gen8 servers. They are also perfectly designed for implementing HP Discovery Services. HP Intelligent Series Rack The - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 15
manual task for server administrators. Administrators can use the location information and system data with HP Asset Manager to obtain more precise and complete asset data. Rack-level thermal mapping Insight Control power management gathers data for correlating the location of ProLiant Gen8 servers - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 16
addition, ProLiant Gen8 servers feature industry-leading power management software and the most advanced firmware and system software management update process available today. All of these technologies work together within the elegant design of our Intelligent Series Racks to provide the best user - HP ProLiant DL388e | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 17
