Integrated Features
■ ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
RBSU performs a wide range of configuration activities and provides
access to system settings for system devices, operating system selection,
boot controller order, and online spare memory.
■ Redundant ROM support
The ProLiant ML370 Generation 2 server contains two 1-MB ROMs
containing a current version of the ROM and a previous version of the
ROM. If the first ROM corrupts, the system defaults to the previous
version to maximize server availability and performance.
■ ROMPaq Utility
Flash ROM capability enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with
system or option ROMPaq utilities.
■ Remote ROM Flash Utility
Smart Components for Remote ROM Flash enables Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 operating system administrators to
efficiently upgrade and manage system and array controller ROMs.
■ ROM legacy USB support
For ProLiant ML370 Generation 2 servers configured with an operating
system that provides USB support, the ROM supports USB devices
including keyboard and mouse. For information about operating systems
currently providing USB support, refer to the operating system support
matrix on the Compaq website:

Software Tools and Utilities
■ Compaq SmartStart for Servers CD
The SmartStart for Servers CD is the recommended tool for loading
system software, achieving a well-integrated server, and ensuring
maximum dependability and supportability. The SmartStart CD also
contains diagnostic utilities and ROMPaq tools.
■ SmartStart Diskette Builder
The SmartStart Diskette Builder is a utility that uses data stored on the
SmartStart CD to create support diskettes. You can create support
diskettes for specific configuration needs or for software that cannot be
used directly from the SmartStart CD.
