Overview
HP DL380z Generation8 (Gen8) Virtual Workstation
The HP DL380z Gen8 Virtual Workstation sets the new standard of 2U rack mount 2-socket rack virtual workstation
solutions for the industry. With enhanced configuration flexibility, unmatched performance, and leading energy efficient
design, the HP DL380z Gen8 offers the perfect solution to address the emerging demands for virtual workstation
capabilities.
The HP DL380z Gen8 Virtual Workstation is a focused 2U 2-socket rack ecosystem solution based on the proven
technologies offered on the HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 server. As such, this QuickSpec will reference supporting
documents that detail the HP Proliant server product offerings and descriptions. This is intentional since the HP DL380z
Gen8 is based on the same technologies.

and all multi-bit error that occurs within a single DRAM chip. Both x4 and x8 SDDC are
supported (x8 requires lockstep mode).
Online Spare
NOTE: Memory online spare mode (also known as rank spare mode) detects a rank that is
degrading and switches operation to the spare rank.
Lock-step mode
NOTE: Memory Lockstep mode is used to correct a single x8 DRAM device failure on a DIMM.
The DIMMs in each paired memory channel must have identical HP part numbers.

HP DL380z ROM The HP DL380z Gen8 ROM identifies itself as an HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 platform. This is to
be expected and is correct behavior.
HP ROM (Read Only Memory) is now digitally signed using HP's Corporate Signing Service.
This signature is verified before the flash process starts, reducing accidental programming and
preventing malicious efforts to corrupt system ROM.
HP 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.
HP 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.
HP'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 HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
NOTE: For further information, please refer to HP's RBSU (ROM based setup utility) user
guide: www.hp.com/support/rbsu.
