HPE Compute Module ROM
HPE ROM (read only memory) is now digitally signed using the HPE Corporate Signing Service. As part of the Secure Start, 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 Synergy Compute 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 Mezzanine cards).
Customer-specific BIOS configuration using the UEFI System Utilities.

About Trusted Platform Module
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a separate processor that monitors the system state. TPM is a passive component needing to be updated and not able to lock down any component in the system except access to its own memory. It also provides some cryptographic operations - among them: creating RSA keypairs, and working with them.
The first verification of signatures happens by code on the CPU, which can be intercepted and replaced. Emulating a "properly" booted system is possible by sending the right values to the TPM.
The bootblock, the part of the firmware that contains the first instructions executed by the CPU, comes first and anchors the root of trust. But if you can't trust the bootblock to send a truthful state into the TPM, this is a vulnerability.

About HPE Silicon Root of Trust
As soon as the server is powered on and the iLO firmware comes alive, it looks into the silicon for the immutable fingerprint that verifies all the firmware code is valid and uncompromised. Over a million lines of firmware code run before the operating system starts, making it vital to confirm that all server essential firmware is free from malware or compromised code.
During operation of the server, HPE has a new technology that conducts run-time firmware validation that checks the firmware stored in the server. At any point, if compromised code or malware is inserted in any of the critical firmware, an iLO audit log alert is created to notify the customer that a compromise has occurred. It is achieved by storing iLO 7 and UEFI firmware in non-volatile
Flash memory which is thoroughly scanned at regular user determined intervals. The contents of the firmware stored in memory must be exactly right, down to the individual bit, or else it is flagged as compromised. See the iLO 7 QuickSpecs for recovery processes.

HPE Virtual Connect
HPE Synergy composable fabric delivers high performance and composability for the delivery of applications and services. The composable fabric is based on primary/satellite architecture.
The HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module, primary modules, based on composable fabric is designed for Composable Infrastructure. Its disaggregated, rack-scale design uses a primary/satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scales network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy 12000 Frames.
The primary module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extend connectivity to satellite frames through Interconnect Link Modules. This eliminates top of rack switch need and substantially reduces cost. The reduction in components also simplifies fabric management at scale while consuming fewer ports at the data center aggregation layer.
The HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module eliminates up to 95% of network sprawl at the compute module edge with one device that converges traffic inside frames and directly connects to external LANs. Each redundant pair of Virtual Connect modules provide eight adjustable downlink connections (six Ethernet and two Fibre Channel, or eight Ethernet) to dual-port 10 Gb and in case of 20 Gb Converged Network Adapters 16 adjustable downlinks connections 14 Ethernet and two Fibre Channel) on each compute module.
Up to six uplinks using QSFP+ interfaces are available for connection to upstream Ethernet switches. Including splitter cables up to 24 uplinks are available for connection to upstream Ethernet and Fibre Channel. The HPE Virtual Connect SE 100 Gb F32 module avoids the confusion of traditional and other converged network solutions by eliminating the need for multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, extension modules, cables and software licenses. Also, Virtual Connect wire-once connection management is built-in enabling compute modules adds, moves and replacement in minutes instead of days or weeks. The Primary/Satellite disaggregated architecture removes fixed ratios of interconnects in every frame and allows extending networking resources pool for Virtual Connect to satellite frames.
For more information on Virtual Connect and converged network options, see HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for Synergy for more details.________________________________________

Memory
Memory Subsystem Architecture
Each processor socket contains eight memory channels that support two DIMMs each for a total of 16 DIMM per installed processor or a grand total of thirty two (32) DIMMs for the compute module with 2 processors.
________________________________________
HPE Gen12 Memory Population guidelines for Intel® Xeon® 6500P-Series and 6700P-Series Processors
To achieve the highest and most consistent memory bandwidth with minimal latency, DIMMs should be populated in a balanced configuration. Several factors determine whether a configuration is balanced. To optimize performance, consider the following guidelines:
For most workloads, performance peaks when all DIMMs are part of a single interleave set, forming a uniform memory region distributed across as many identical (same HPE PN) DIMMs as possible. The ideal balanced configuration consists of either eight DIMMs (1DPC) or sixteen DIMMs (2DPC) per CPU. Populating each channel with one or two DIMMs ensures efficient data distribution across channels within a single interleave set, resulting in maximum memory bandwidth and minimal latency. While eight DIMMs provide the highest bandwidth, sixteen DIMMs offer the greatest memory capacity.
If a fully balanced setup of eight or sixteen DIMMs per CPU is not feasible, the next best option is a near-balanced configuration. This can be achieved by symmetrically populating two, four, eight, twelve, or sixteen identical DIMMs per CPU. Deviating from these numbers can create disjointed memory regions, leading to multiple interleave sets and reduced efficiency.
For optimal performance, all DIMMs must be identical in rank, capacity, type, and speed (guaranteed by using the same HPE PN). This principle also applies to processors in multi-socket Intel systems, where all CPUs should be identical, and each CPU socket must have the same memory configuration. A uniform memory setup across all CPU sockets further enhances memory access efficiency.
For more detailed memory population guidelines, refer to the HPE Memory Population QuickSpecs or use an approved HPE server configurator tool.
– For 2 Processor, the allowed qty of 16GB 6400B Memory is 2, 4, 8, 16 only.
– Mixing of different Rank memory is allowed only if maximum qty of DIMMs are selected per processor (i.e. For
1 Processor it is 16 and for 2 Processors it is 32).
– 96GB memory DIMM cannot be mixed with any other memory DIMM.
– 128GB memory DIMM cannot be mixed with any other memory DIMM.
– 256GB DIMM is not supported with the 4SFF and 8EDSFF drive cages.
