    Physical and Environmental Information

    Systems are comprised of the following components: Base chassis plus Expansion chassis.


    Enclosure

    The system can be field racked. However, it is strongly recommended that customers order the systems racked from the factory. This provides the customer the benefit of extensive system testing and avoids possible premium service charges for field racking service. Field racking requires the use of an appropriate material lift capable of lifting 80+ lbs.

    Systems are supported in the HPE 600mm wide and 800mm wide racks, and the HPE D-rack. Rack availability is dependent on size of system complex.

    Other products may be placed in the same rack as the system. Placement of these other products must not result in moving the server chassis.

    All racks in the same order must be the same height and width.

    • − HPE 42U 610mm x 1156mm D-Rack
    • − HPE D-Rack 42U 610mm x 1156mm Extended

    The default assumption is that chassis are loaded in the rack at the bottom. It is recommended that 1U is left below the bottom of the compute enclosure in the 42U rack to provide PDU and cabling exit space.

    Supported configurations have the system located at the bottom of the rack with peripherals located above all chassis.

    Notes: On some rack and PDU combinations, a power bar rack mounting bracket (R9H01A or R9H02A) will be added automatically

    Processor Mixing Support

    Governing rules for mixing processors are as follows:

    • − No mixing of processor types within the same system

    DDR4 Memory Support

    Systems will use DDR4 DIMM technology.


    The following DIMMs are supported in the chassis:

    • − 32GB 2Rx4 DDR4-3200 Registered DIMM
    • − 64GB 2Rx4 DDR4-3200 Registered DIMM
    • − 64GB 4Rx4 DDR4-2933 Load Reduced DIMM
    • − 128GB 4Rx4 DDR4-3200 Load Reduced DIMM
    • − 256GB 8Rx4 DDR4-3200 Load Reduced DIMM

    Notes: Mixing of 64GB LRDIMM and 128GB LRDIMM is allowed. Each socket must be fully populated with ½ of each memory size


    Only DIMMs that Hewlett Packard Enterprise has qualified are supported.

    Each chassis supports up to 48 DIMMs. This breaks down to twelve DIMMs per socket.

    General memory configuration rules:

    • − For best performance, the amount of memory on each chassis within the system should be the same.

    Persistent Memory Support

    Designed to support the following Persistent Memory DIMMs:

    • − Intel Optane 128GB persistent memory 200 series for HPE Superdome Flex 280
    • − Intel Optane 256GB persistent memory 200 series for HPE Superdome Flex 280
    • − Intel Optane 512GB persistent memory 200 series for HPE Superdome Flex 280

    Notes:

    − Chassis must be ½ populated with DDR4 DIMMs before Persistent Memory can be added

    − No mixing of DDR4 memory sizes is supported when Persistent Memory is utilized

    − Minimum OS levels are required for support of Persistent Memory

    − Superdome Flex 280 supports only App-direct Mode for Persistent Memory

    − Persistent Memory DIMMS must be populated across each socket with 6 per socket

    − Persistent Memory supported only on 4 socket systems

    Security

    HPE Superdome Flex 280 provides important architectural security features not found in other industry standard servers. Superdome Flex 280 Mission Critical focus provides unique customer benefits without exposure to vulnerabilities found in common server firmware.

    • − UEFI Secure Boot and Secure Start support
    • − Immutable Silicon Root of Trust, A Cyber Catalyst by Marsh sm -designated solution
    • − Tamper-free updates – components digitally signed and verified
    • − Secure Recovery – recover critical firmware to known good state on detection of compromised firmware
    • − Firmware rollback protection for critical Vulnerability fixes
    • − TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0 tamper-resistant and soldered down for all systems
    • − Chassis Intrusion detection (optional)
    • − FW update protected by RMC Admin authentication
    • − Air-Gapped Manageability
    • − Secure Out-of-Box passwords
    • − Directory access control (LDAP/Active Directory)
    • − Alternatives to PXE (Directed LAN Boot, HTTP Boot)
    • − Ability to disable HOST USB ports

    Platform Management

    The HPE Superdome Flex 280 delivers system administration, control, and platform management both via a programmable Redfish API and also in a comprehensive and concise command-line interface. The Redfish® API can be used in many ways including:

    • − Directly in simple scripts to obtain inventory and monitoring information
    • − With HPE OneView for a graphical user interface, as well as manage multiple HPE systems concurrently in the datacenter at once
    • − With Openstack Ironic for Provisioning the OS

    The Rack Management Controller in Superdome Flex 280 is an embedded option (the "eRMC") running within the Base Chassis.


    The HPE Superdome Flex 280 has a built-in and always available platform management system. By integrating the management into the server platform, Hewlett Packard Enterprise ensures that every Superdome Flex 280 comes with the full set of management features, and simplifies the task of integrating Superdome Flex 280 into the data center. The purpose of the HPE Superdome Flex 280 management system is to:

    • − Provide built-in tools to manage hardware and provide mission-critical system availability (inventory, monitor, diagnose, configure, maintain, and self-healing)
    • − Make it easier for users and applications to manage the system (inventory, start, stop, connect console, and so on)

    The HPE Superdome Flex 280 manageability system provides a very powerful control point for the system, and the RMC makes managing the HPE Superdome Flex 280 much easier by centralizing the control and building the management into the hardware and firmware of the system. It provides the following features:

    • − Web GUI for eRMC – Redfish driven. Covers:
      • System inventory, health, configuration
      • Launch vMedia, vKVM (HTML5)
      • Configure UEFI reboot, power
      • eRMC security settings
      • eRMC LAN settings
    • − CLI for easy access to all eRMC functions, providing potential scripting and power user convenience
    • − Console, and console logs
    • − Built-in Error Analysis Engine constantly monitors all system hardware, analyzes log and telemetry data, and determines corrective actions for highest system uptime (often performing corrective actions automatically)

    HPE Superdome Flex 280 eRMC will interface directly with the HPE Remote Support software for data center wide fault management visibility and tie-in to HPE support services, such as the Insight Online portal


    HPE Foundation Software (HFS)

    HFS (HPE Foundation Software) consists of software packages specifically designed to ensure the smooth operation of the HPE Superdome Flex and HPE Superdome Flex 280 servers. It includes Data Collection Daemon (DCD) for Linux, an agentless service that proactively monitors the health of hardware components on the HPE Superdome Flex and HPE Superdome Flex 280 servers.


    This bundle contains a collection of HFS (HPE Foundation Software) ISO images to be installed on HPE Superdome Flex Family Servers running with RHEL, SLES or Oracle Linux (there is no HFS for other OS’es).
