To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration process, press the
F8
key when
prompted.
By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for the English language. To change any
default settings in the auto-configuration process (such as the settings for language, operating system, and
primary boot controller), execute RBSU by pressing the
F9
key when prompted. After the settings are
selected, exit RBSU and allow the server to reboot automatically.
For more information on RBSU, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or
the HP website (

).

following:

Access the System Maintenance Menu (which enables you to launch ROM-based Diagnostics or
Inspect) by pressing the
F10

Force a PXE Network boot by pressing the
F12
key.

remotely through a serial connection to the server COM port. The server that you are remotely configuring
