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, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or

the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart

).

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 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 (

http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart

).
