• Access the boot menu by pressing the F11 key. • Force a PXE Network boot by pressing the F12 key. Configuring AMP modes Not all ProLiant servers support all AMP modes. RBSU provides menu options only for the modes supported by the server. Advanced memory protection within RBSU enables the following advanced memory modes: • Advanced ECC Mode-Provides memory protection beyond Standard ECC. All single-bit failures and some multi-bit failures can be corrected without resulting in system downtime. • Online Spare Mode-Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is set aside as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a degraded DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal or uncorrectable memory error are removed from operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime. For DIMM population requirements, see the server-specific user guide. Re-entering the server serial number and product ID After you replace the system board, you must re-enter the server blade serial number and the product ID. 1.

Configuring AMP modes
Not all ProLiant servers support all AMP modes. RBSU provides menu options only for the modes supported
by the server. Advanced memory protection within RBSU enables the following advanced memory modes:
•
Advanced ECC Mode—Provides memory protection beyond Standard ECC. All single-bit failures and
some multi-bit failures can be corrected without resulting in system downtime.
•
Online Spare Mode—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is set
aside as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a degraded
DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal or uncorrectable memory error are removed from
operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.
For DIMM population requirements, see the server-specific user guide.
