ROM-Based Setup Utility using the F8 key
ROM-Based Setup Utility (F8) is the recommended method to initially
set up the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board. The ROM-Based
Setup Utility is useful for setting up servers that do not use DNS/DHCP.
The ROM-Based Setup Utility is available every time the server is
booted and may be run remotely using the Remote Insight Lights-Out
Edition Remote Console.
■ System Configuration Utility Setup using the F10 key
Use this method for servers that use the System Configuration Utility
(F10) to configure the server. After using the System Configuration
Utility at the host server, install the Remote Insight drivers and agents
foryouroperatingsystem.
■ ROM-Based Setup Utility using the F9 key
Newer Compaq servers use the ROM-Based Setup Utility (F9) to
configure the server. Servers that use the ROM-Based Setup Utility (F9)
do not use the System Configuration Utility. The ROM-Based Setup
Utility (F9) does not provide configuration for the Remote Insight
Lights-Out Edition board. Servers that use the ROM-Based Setup Utility
(F9) to configure the server need to use the ROM-Based Setup Utility
(F8) to configure the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board.
■ Preinstalled Operating System Configuration Setup
Use this method if you have purchased a new server equipped with a
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board and an operating system that
was preinstalled by Compaq.
