Configuring the server
After installing the controller hardware and updating the firmware, use RBSU to
configure the server.
NOTE:
The 2-channel expansion module is a controller in its own right.
Thus, the Smart Array 6404 Controller is actually two 2-channel
controllers sharing one PCI-X connector. During POST, each
component controller loads its own instance of the required driver and
sets its own configuration using ORCA.
1.
Power up the server.
The server runs the POST sequence and briefly displays an RBSU prompt.
2.
At the prompt, press the
F9
key to start RBSU.
3.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the server and set the boot
controller order.
IMPORTANT:
The expansion module on the SA6404 controller cannot
be used as a boot device.
4.
Save the configuration, and exit from the utility.
5.
Restart the server for the new settings to take effect.
For more information about using RBSU, refer to the
HP ROM-Based Setup
Utility User Guide
or the server setup and installation guide. These documents
are both available on the Documentation CD supplied in the server kit.
