Software and configuration utilities 35

To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration process, press the F8 key when
prompted.
By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for the English language. To change any
default settings in the auto-configuration process (such as the settings for language, operating system, and
primary boot controller), execute the BIOS Setup Utility (on page

34

) by pressing the F10 key during

power-up when prompted. After the settings are selected, exit the BIOS Setup Utility and allow the server
to reboot automatically.

BIOS Serial Console

BIOS Serial Console allows you to configure the serial port to view POST error messages and run BIOS

Setup Utility 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, see the BIOS Serial Console User Guide on the
Documentation CD or the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation

).

ROMPaq utility

The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS) or Lights-Out 100 firmware. To

upgrade the firmware, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive or ROMPaq USB Key into an
available USB port and boot the system.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available

firmware revisions.
For more information about the ROMPaq utility, see the HP website (
