HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen9 Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center. 

All pre-configured servers ship with a standard 6-foot IEC C-13/C-14 jumper cord (A0K02A). This jumper cord is also included with each standard AC power supply option kit. If a different power cord is required, please check the ProLiant Power Cables web page. 

To review the power requirements for your selected system, please use the HPE Power Advisor Tool located at http://www.hpe.com/info/hppoweradvisor.

HPE Server UEFI/Legacy ROM

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides better manageability and more secured configuration than the legacy ROM while interacting with your server at boot time. HPE ProLiant Gen9 platform defaults to UEFI and can be factory or field configured for Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.

NOTE: The UEFI System Utilities function is analogous to the HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) of legacy BIOS. For more information, please visit http://www.hpe.com/servers/uefi.

UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HPE ProLiant servers such as:

• Secure Boot 
• Operating system specific functionality 
• Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives 
• USB 3.0 Stack 
• Embedded UEFI Shell 
• Mass Configuration Deployment Tool using RESTful API for iLO 4
• PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
• Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM
• Network Stack configurations

NOTE: For UEFI Boot Mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured properly to support UEFI.
NOTE: UEFI FIO Setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in Legacy mode in the factory for your HPE ProLiant Gen9 Server.
