Option ROM Launch Policy
In the Pre-OS environment, HP Workstations can use either Option ROM (OROM) or a Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface (UEFI) driver for configuration and management of the RAID controllers. The default shipping configuration is
set to
All Legacy
OROM. This can be changed in BIOS Setup under
Advanced > Option ROM Launch Policy
. Select the
desired Option ROM Launch Policy from the pull down menu.
The OROM or UEFI driver is not available when the SATA or sSATA controllers are set to AHCI.
When the Option ROM Launch Policy is set to All Legacy, the SATA and sSATA OROM will only display at power on if
there are two or more RAID capable devices attached to the controller, or a single device is attached that contains RAID
metadata. In the later case, the OROM will show that the RAID is failed or degraded.
When the Option ROM Launch Policy is set to UEFI, the legacy OROM will not display and management of RAID can be
performed in
3rd Party Option ROM Management
from the BIOS
Startup Menu
.
Controller Enable/Disable
The SATA and sSATA controllers can be Disabled or Enabled individually from the BIOS menu under
Advanced > Device
Configurations
. Select Enable or Disable from the pull down menu for the controller that you would like to Enable or
Disable.
