HPE Server ROM HPE ROM (read only memory) is now digitally signed using Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Corporate Signing
Service. This signature is verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and
preventing malicious efforts to corrupt system ROM.
HPE ROM provides for essential initialization and validation of hardware components before control is passed
to the customer-installed operating system. The ROM also provides the capability of booting from various
fixed media (HDD, CD-ROM) and removable media (USB), to continue operation to the operating system.
HPE ROM performs very early configuration of the video controller, to allow monitoring of initialization
progress via an attached monitor. If configuration or hardware errors are discovered during this early phase of
hardware initialization, suitable messages are now displayed on the connected monitor. Additionally, these
configuration or hardware errors are logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) to assist in diagnosis.
HPE’s ProLiant ROM is used to configure the following:
• Processor and chipset status registers
• System memory, memory map, and memory initialization
• System hardware configuration (integrated PCI devices and optional PCIe cards).
• Customer-specific BIOS configuration using the HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
NOTE: For further information, please refer to The Hewlett Packard Enterprise RBSU (ROM based setup
utility) user guide: http://www.hp.com/support/rbsu
