Using the ROM-Based Setup Utility
NOTE: Most of the features in the RBSU are not required for setting up your server. The
options in this utility are designed for server-specific configuration issues.
The RBSU contains a series of utilities for configuring specific areas of the
system. The primary menus selections are:
■ System options
■ PCI devices
■ Boot controller order
■ Date and time
■ System passwords
■ System identification
■ Advanced options
■ Utility language
System Options
The System Options menu is used for overall system configuration settings.
The following is a list of selections found in this menu with an explanation of
each option:
OS Selection allows the user to select the operating system. This option
automatically selects appropriate advanced settings for the operating system
selected and should be set before the operating system is installed.
Embedded COM Port allows the user to (1) enable the embedded rear panel
serial connector at the specified resource settings or (2) disable the option.
Standard Boot Order allows the user to configure the order of devices used
to start an operating system. This feature is used to prevent the system from
starting from diskette or CD, and to select the device the system scans first.
Diskette Write Control allows the user to configure the write control of the
removable media drive. It can be set to read and write or to read only.
Diskette Boot Control allows the user to boot the system from the removable
media device.
