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: The server may not support all the following examples.
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.
Drives installed Drives used RAID level
1 1 RAID 0
2 2 RAID 1

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 RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted. After the settings are
selected, exit RBSU and allow the server to reboot automatically.
For more information on RBSU, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD
or the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation ).
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 diskette, CD, or hard drive. During this time, you can
do the following:
• Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key
• Access the System Maintenance Menu (which enables you to launch ROM-based Diagnostics or
Inspect) by pressing the F10 key
• Force a PXE Network boot by pressing the F12 key
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, see the BIOS Serial Console User Guide on the
Documentation CD or the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation ).
