HP ROM-Based Setup Utility
RBSU, an embedded configuration utility, performs a wide range of configuration activities that
may include:
• Configuring system devices and installed options
• Enabling and disabling system features
• Displaying system information
• Selecting the primary boot controller
• Configuring memory options
• Language selection
For more information on RBSU, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the
Documentation CD or the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation).
Using RBSU
To use RBSU, use the following keys:
• To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power up when prompted.
• To navigate the menu system, use the arrow keys.
• To make selections, press the Enter key.
• To access Help for a highlighted configuration option, press the F1 key.
IMPORTANT: RBSU automatically saves settings when you press the Enter key. The utility
does not prompt you for confirmation of settings before you exit the utility. To change a selected
setting, you must select a different setting and press the Enter key.
Default configuration settings are applied to the server at one of the following times:
• Upon the first system power-up
• After defaults have been restored
•
Default configuration settings are sufficient for proper typical server operation, but configuration
settings can be modified using RBSU. The system will prompt you for access to RBSU with each
power-up.
Auto-configuration process
The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time.
During the power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system
without needing any intervention. During this process, the ORCA utility, in most cases,
automatically configures the array to a default setting based on the number of drives connected
to the server.
