[a] The appliance might report an unsupported status for some double-wide, double-dense ProLiant G7 server blade models, which means that the appliance cannot manage them. To learn more, see About unsupported server hardware.

[b] Not all servers support monitoring power, cooling, and utilization.

[c] HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen8 is not supported.

[d] Due to a limitation in Gen9 BL server ROMs dated 8/27/14 or earlier, it is not possible to set the primary boot device when the boot mode is set to UEFI or UEFI Optimized. If Manage boot order is selected, a warning will be displayed in the corresponding profile indicating this condition.

[e] Only supported with the embedded array controller. M.2 drives are supported in specific configurations. See the HPE OneView Support Matrix for details

[f] Local storage is supported for select models of HPE ProLiant DL Gen9 server hardware. See the HPE OneView Support Matrix for a list of models that support local storage.
