Range/Series Overview
IMPORTANT: This Range/Series overview section describes the range of which this product belongs. Features of different versions might be mentioned and may not apply to the specific product on this page. Please view Specs for specification of product.The frame link module is used by HPE OneView to discover and manage the Synergy frame.
The frame link module is also an access point for hardware setup and the physical management of the Synergy frames cabled together in the data center. Use the monitor port on the front panel of the Synergy frame to connect to a display, keyboard, and mouse to perform the initial configuration of HPE OneView and enable remote management using a web browser and perform tasks such as changing a password or restoring a backup.
Features Summary
- Control and Manage your Synergy Frames for Continuous Uptime
Collects asset and inventory information of all components installed in a HPE Synergy Frame.
Auto-discovers all resources in all linked HPE Synergy Frames, and reports this information into HPE OneView in order to automatically bring these resources under monitoring.
Controls and monitors the thermal and power infrastructure resources in an HPE Synergy Frame.
Reports the health status for each component installed in a HPE Synergy Frame.
Hosts the HPE Synergy Console user interface. - Extend your Connectivity within a Single Management Domain
Management network connections, which are separate from the data network, operate at 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps for dedicated management control.
HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules link multiple frames together at 10 Gbps into a management ring within a single management domain.
Frame link modules allow you to easily grow your environment from a single frame up to 21 frames within the same management domain.
HPE Synergy 4-port Frame Link Modules provide flexibility for long-distance connections (up to tens of kilometers) to scattered frames and to remote subnets of a datacenter. - Maintain the Security of your HPE Synergy Frames
HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules separate the data network from the management network to resist Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Hardware Root of Trust in HPE Synergy 4-port Frame Link Modules prevent tampering by detecting and validating that the correct firmware is in use.
Secure Start maintains secure firmware updates and attack resilience by validating any new firmware on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module from the previous firmware before switching the boot path.
File Encryption uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the HPE Synergy 4-port Frame Link Module for robust device security using validated encryption keys.
HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules also provide other security capabilities like secure protocols and algorithms (CNSA Suite B, FIPS 140-2 Level 1, PCI-DSS compliance, GDPR), audit logs, authenticated updates, certificate management, scope based access control, and secure erase of user data.
