Auto-configuration process
The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During
the power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system without needing
any intervention. During this process, the ORCA utility, in most cases, automatically configures the
array to a default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server.
NOTE:
If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA does not
automatically configure the array. You must run ORCA to configure the array settings.
NOTE:
The server may not support all the following examples.

For more information on RBSU, see the
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the
Documentation CD or the HP website (

Boot options
Near the end of the boot process, the boot options screen is displayed. This screen is visible for
several seconds before the system attempts to boot from a supported boot device. During this time,
you can do the following:
●
Access RBSU by pressing the
F9
key.
●
Access Intelligent Provisioning Maintenance Menu by pressing the
F10
key.
●
Access the boot menu by pressing the
F11
key.
●
Force a PXE Network boot by pressing the
F12
key.
Configuring AMP modes
Not all HP ProLiant servers support all AMP modes. RBSU provides menu options only for the modes
supported by the server. Advanced memory protection within RBSU enables the following advanced
memory modes:
●
Advanced ECC Mode—Provides memory protection beyond Standard ECC. All single-bit
failures and some multi-bit failures can be corrected without resulting in system downtime.
●
Online Spare Mode—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is
set aside as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a
degraded DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal or uncorrectable memory error are
removed from operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.
For DIMM population requirements, see the server-specific user guide.
