HP Smart Array 5300 Controller User Guide

Configuring the Server

ProLiant Servers

After installing the controller hardware and updating the firmware, configure the

server by using either RBSU or SCU. (A brief description of the procedure is given

in this section. For more information, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User

Guide or the server setup and installation guide.)

Using RBSU

RBSU is a system configuration utility that is embedded in the system ROM. It is

customized for the server on which it is installed.

CAUTION: Not all servers support RBSU. Do not flash an RBSU-ROM image onto a

server that is already configured with SCU unless the update instructions specifically

state that upgrading from SCU to RBSU is supported. If the upgrade is not

supported, the consequences of upgrading are unpredictable, and you may lose

data.

To use RBSU:

1. Power up the server.

2. Press the F9 key when prompted during system startup.

The main RBSU screen is displayed.

3. Configure the system. (For more information, refer to the ROM-Based Setup

Utility User Guide.)
