HP Service Pack for ProLiant SPP is a release set that contains a comprehensive collection of firmware and system software components, all tested together as a single solution stack for HP ProLiant servers, their options, BladeSystem enclosures, and limited HP external storage. SPP has several key features for updating HP ProLiant servers.
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility RBSU is a configuration utility embedded in HP ProLiant servers that performs a wide range of configuration activities that can include the following: ● Configuring system devices and installed options ● Enabling and disabling system features ● Displaying system information ● Selecting the primary boot controller ● Configuring memory options ● Language selection For more information on RBSU, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the H
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.
Re-entering the server serial number and product ID After you replace the system board, you must re-enter the server serial number and the product ID. 1. During the server startup sequence, press the F9 key to access RBSU. 2. Select the Advanced Options menu. 3. Select Service Options. 4. Select Serial Number. The following warnings appear: WARNING! The serial number is loaded into the system during the manufacturing process and should NOT be modified.

For more information regarding the default configurations that ORCA uses, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/ rbsu).
USB support HP provides both standard USB 2.0 support and legacy USB 2.0 support. Standard support is provided by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM. Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available normally.
Software and firmware Software and firmware should be updated before using the server for the first time, unless any installed software or components require an older version. For system software and firmware updates, download the SPP (HP Service Pack for ProLiant on page 85) from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp).
