HP ProLiant DL320 Generation 3 Server User Guide

To navigate RBSU, use the following keys:

• To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power up when prompted in the

upper right corner of the screen.

• To navigate the menu system, use the arrow keys.
• To make selections, press the Enter 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.

Boot options

After the auto-configuration process completes, or after the server reboots upon
exit from RBSU, the POST sequence runs, and then the boot option screen is
displayed. This screen is visible for several seconds before the system attempts to
boot from either a diskette, CD, or hard drive. During this time, the menu on the
screen allows you to install an operating system or make changes to the server
configuration in RBSU.

BIOS Serial Console

BIOS Serial Console allows you to configure the serial port to view POST error
messages and run RBSU remotely through a serial connection to the server COM
port. The server that you are remotely configuring does not require a keyboard
and mouse.

For more information about BIOS Serial Console, refer to the BIOS Serial
Console User Guide
on the Documentation CD or the HP website
