UEFI System Utilities
At this time, the HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 Server is the only HP ProLiant Gen8 server that supports UEFI.
For servers that support UEFI, the HP UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. The UEFI System
Utilities enable you to perform a wide range of configuration activities, including:
• Configuring system devices and installed options
• Enabling and disabling system features
• Displaying system information
• Selecting the primary boot controller
• Configuring memory options
• Selecting a language
• Launching other pre-boot environments such as the Embedded UEFI Shell and Intelligent Provisioning
For more information on HP UEFI, see the HP UEFI System Utilities User Guide on the HP website
( http://www.hp.com/go/uefi/docs ).
Using HP System Utilities
To use the System Utilities, use the following keys:
Action Key
Access System Utilities F9 during server POST
Navigate menus
Up and Down arrows
Select items Enter
Save selections F10
Access Help for a highlighted configuration option F1
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 typical server operations; however, you can modify
configuration settings as needed. The system prompts you for access to the System Utilities each time the
system is powered up.

Setting a controller as the boot controller
For servers running in legacy (non-UEFI) mode, use the following procedure to set a controller as the boot
controller using HP SSA. To adjust the boot order settings for other controllers in the system, see "Setting the
controller order (on page 19 )."
1. Confirm that the controller is connected to a logical drive. (If it is not, it cannot be set as the boot
controller.)
