Run the Erase Utility if you must erase the system for the following reasons:
• You want to install a new operating system on a server with an existing operating system.
• You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation.
To access the Erase Utility, use the System Erase button on the home screen of the SmartStart CD
("SmartStart software" on page 84).

HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative
tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities
that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for
processors, SAS and SATA hard drives, and memory modules.
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or
the HP SIM website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim
).
Management Agents
Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration
management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-
party SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted
installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status
and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management
Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation
Pack or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage
).
Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server
has a 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup
version.
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.
