Management tools
HP Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative
tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities that
consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for
processors, SAS and SATA hard drives, and memory modules.
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the
HP SIM website (

Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management.
The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-party SNMP

be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to
in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional
information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website
