HP Integrity rx2660 Server User Service Guide

The Office Friendly server firmware supports the HP-UX 11i version 3, February 2007 release,
Linux, Windows, and OpenVMS 8.3 operating systems through the Itanium processor family
standards and extensions, and has no operating system-specific functionality included.
All operating systems are presented with the same interface to system firmware, and all features
are available to the operating system.
User Interface
The Itanium processor family firmware employs a user interface defined by an HP standard called
Pre-OS System Startup Environment (POSSE). The POSSE shell is based on the EFI standard shell.
Several commands were added to the standard EFI Shell to support HP value-added functionality.
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The system firmware generates event IDs for errors, events, and forward progress to the Integrated
Lights Out 2 Management Processor (iLO 2 MP) through common shared memory. The iLO 2 MP
interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose and troubleshoot
problems with the server.

This chapter provides a basic description of the controls, ports, and LEDs found on the front panel
