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) ("RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G5 and earlier servers or server blades)" on page 82) Running RBSU 1. To run RBSU and modify configuration settings, press the F9 key when prompted during the startup sequence. 2. Modify configuration settings as needed. 3. Exit RBSU by pressing Esc at the main menu. To confirm configuration setting changes, reboot the system when exiting RBSU. Introduction 8 A confirmation to exit displays on the screen, and the current boot controller also displays for reference purposes. 4. To confirm exiting RBSU, press the F10 key. The server restarts using the new configuration settings. RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G6 servers or server blades) 9 RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G6 servers or server blades) RBSU menu overview The RBSU menu lists configuration settings to view or modify. IMPORTANT: Menu options may differ from those in this document, depending on specific server options. On the right-hand side of the screen, a window displays basic server information, including the server model, serial number, BIOS version, backup BIOS version, memory installed, and processors installed. Pressing the F1 key when any sub-menu option is highlighted enables you to view a description of that feature. While the menus are provided in various languages, the help text is provided in English only. RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G6 servers or server blades) 10 If a BIOS Serial Console is active, RBSU will run in CLI mode. The following command prompt screen appears. The CLI mode of RBSU ("CLI Mode Selection" on page 119) is a command-prompted interface that provides equivalent functionality to the menu-based mode. System Options menu (G6 servers) The System Options menu enables basic I/O server configuration with the following options: • Serial Port Options (G6 servers) (on page 10) • Embedded NICs (G6 servers) (on page 12) • Advanced Memory Protection (G6 servers) (on page 13) • USB Options (G6 servers) (on page 14) • Processor Options (G6 servers) (on page 17) • NUMLOCK Power-On State (G6 servers) (on page 24) IMPORTANT: Menu options may differ from those in this document, depending on specific server options. Serial Port Options (G6 servers) • Serial Port 1 (G6 servers) (on page 11) • Virtual Serial Port (G6 servers) (on uploads/Litterature/ rbsu-user-guide.pdf
