ROM-Based Setup Utility
RBSU is a configuration utility that is embedded in the server ROM. RBSU is
updateable via ROMPaq. The RBSU helps you configure certain server hardware
settings and prepare the server for operating system installation without using
diskettes. The RBSU enables you to view and establish server configuration settings
during initial system startup, as well as modify them after the server has been
configured.
RBSU replaces the System Configuration Utility used in previous systems. RBSU
performs a wide range of configuration activities including the following:
• Configuring system devices and installed options
• Viewing system information
• Selecting the operating system
• Selecting the primary boot controller
• Managing storage options
• Configuring advanced memory protection
In addition, RBSU includes other features, which are outlined in “Using RBSU” in
this chapter.

• To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power up.

• To make selections, press the Enter key.
• To exit RBSU, press the Esc key, and then press the F10 key at the prompt.
