•
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.
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.
NOTE: The server may not support all the following examples.
Drives installed Drives used RAID level
1
1 RAID 0
2
2 RAID 1
3, 4, 5, or 6

0 None
To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration process, press the
F8
key
when prompted.
For more information on RBSU, see the
ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD
or the RBSU Information Library ( http://www.hpe.com/info/rbsu/docs ).
