Installing the Operating System
If you are installing the operating system using the SmartStart and Support
Software CD, configure it using the instructions in the following section.
Otherwise, follow the instructions in the “Operating System–Factory
Installed” section later in this chapter.
NOTE: In this chapter, configuring the server means creating partitions on the hard drive,
installing Compaq utilities, and installing the operating system.
Compaq ROM-Based Setup Utility
The Compaq ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) automatically configures the
system based on the selected operating system. It supports a wide range of
configuration customization features, including the following:
■ Selection of a primary operating system from a list of supported
operating systems
■ Selection of a Primary Boot Controller from a list of installed mass
storage devices
■ Configuration of embedded system devices such as serial and mouse
ports
■ Configuration of standard interrupts (IRQs) for PCI devices
■ Setting of date and time
■ Configuration of Integrated Management Display (IMD) and system
asset text
■ Automatic resolution of resource conflicts in areas such as port
addresses and interrupts (IRQs)
■ Storage of configuration in nonvolatile memory
The RBSU is preinstalled in the embedded system ROM on the server. The
RBSU has embedded support for English, French, German, Italian, Spanish,
and Japanese languages.
NOTE: For additional information on using ROM-Based Setup Utility, refer to the Compaq
ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.
