The HPE0-S61 HPE Compute Fundamentals exam validates foundational knowledge of HPE compute solutions for different workloads. It also covers hybrid cloud platforms across HPE compute, storage, networking, and software.
The exam is intended for IT professionals with foundational experience in workloads such as virtualization, containerization, databases, data analytics, and AI inferencing. Candidates need to understand HPE products and components, recognize customer requirements, select appropriate tools, deploy servers, update firmware, and use HPE iLO for basic management.
Online HPE0-S61 questions can help candidates check their progress. Third-party practice questions are independent study materials, however, and should not be presented as official HPE exam questions or used as a replacement for the published objectives.

The HPE0-S61 exam is divided into nine domains.
Candidates need to differentiate HPE Compute products, describe their benefits and use cases, explain the benefits of HPE Services, and understand the GreenLake strategy.
This domain covers the ability to distinguish HPE Compute components and describe their advantages.
Candidates should understand the benefits and security functions of HPE iLO. They also need to identify tasks that integrators and administrators can perform with HPE iLO, UEFI, and HPE Intelligent Provisioning.
This section tests the differences between HPE Compute management options and how those options help secure customer environments.
Candidates need to evaluate customer requirements and discuss the workloads supported on HPE systems.
This domain covers selecting the correct HPE tool for a task and using HPE tools to configure simple compute solutions.
Candidates should understand how the appropriate HPE tools are used to configure local storage and deploy an operating system.
This domain covers firmware update options for HPE compute solutions. Candidates should know how HPE iLO, HPE SUM, and HPE Intelligent Provisioning support firmware management.
Candidates need to understand how HPE iLO is used for basic server management and monitoring tasks.
HPE0-S61 is associated with the HPE ATP – Compute solutions certification. For new candidates, HPE currently lists four required exams:
Passing HPE0-S61 alone does not complete the full HPE ATP – Compute solutions certification path. Candidates should plan for all four requirements and get certified.
