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
•
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/servers/smartstart ).
Using RBSU
The first time you power up the server, the system prompts you to enter RBSU and select a language.
Default configuration settings are made at this time and can be changed later. Most of the features in
RBSU are not required to set up the server.
To navigate RBSU, use the following keys:
•
To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power up when prompted in the upper right corner of the
screen.
•
To navigate the menu system, use the arrow keys.
•
To make selections, press the Enter 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.
Auto-configuration process
IMPORTANT: The F8 key is available only when a supported storage controller is installed in the server.
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.
NOTE: The server may not support all the following examples.
NOTE: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA does not automatically
configure the array. You must run ORCA to configure the array settings.
