Overview
HP ProLiant Generation 2 and later servers have a configuration utility embedded in the system ROM. The
configuration utility, RBSU, starts when you press the
F9 key from the startup sequence.
RBSU 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 online spare memory
IMPORTANT: Menu options may differ from those in this document, depending on specific
server options.
Based on the generation of the server blade, this user guide is divided into two sections:
•
HP ProLiant G6 servers or server blades (" RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G6 servers or server blades) " on
page 9 )
•
HP ProLiant G5 and earlier servers or server blades (including the HP ProLiant servers and server
blades with AMD processors) ("
