Utility (RBSU)
The ROM-based Setup Utility allows you
to change the system configuration
settings from the initial startup of the
system. Specifically, it provides:
■ “Virtual Presence” allowing a
system administrator to use the
Compaq Remote Lights-Out Edition
to remotely access and configure
the system in a totally unattended
fashion
■ The ability to immediately save
settings
■ Selection of operating system. It
also allows configuration of system
specific options such as COM ports
and LPT ports, standard boot order,
and NUMLOCK
■ Viewing of installed PCI devices and
configures IRQ (interrupt) settings
for each installed PCI device
■ Viewing and changing of the
system date and time
■ Viewing and setting of configuration
options for Automatic Server
Recovery (ASR)
■ The ability for the server passwords
to be set or changed
■ Setting or customization of the
server asset tag and the text that
will be displayed on the IMD
■ Setting of advanced options such
as MPS/APIC Mode, Hot-plug
Reservation, and CPU Correction
Marking
■ Selection of the language for RBSU
(English, French, Italian, German,
Spanish, or Japanese)
On an unconfigured server, powering up
the server causes RBSU to run
automatically.
On an already configured server,
pressing F9 when prompted after
restarting the server will cause RBSU to
run.
