User Default Options User Default Options enable definition of default configuration settings. When the system is configured with default settings and saved, the new default settings override factory defaults. NMI Debug Button The NMI Debug Button option is a simple toggle setting that allows you to enable debug functionality when the system has experienced a software lock-up. The NMI Debug Button generates an NMI to allow the use of the OS debugger. WARNING: When enabled, pressing the NMI Debug Button on the system board during normal OS operation generates a Blue-Screen Trap, ABEND, or Panic, and halts the system. Virtual Install Disk The virtual install disk is a holding place within the system ROM that contains embedded boot drivers (such as SCSI or RAID controller drivers) that may be necessary to complete the operating system installation. Typically, boot drivers that are placed in the virtual install disk are either not included as part of the operating system media or are updated for new controllers. Supported operating systems automatically find these drivers, eliminating the need for user intervention. To further optimize the system, HP recommends updating these boot drivers to the latest version after the OS install. Secondary IDE Channel Support The Secondary IDE Channel Support option is a toggle setting that enables or disables the secondary IDE channel. When enabled, an additional IDE device can be connected to the secondary IDE channel. RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G6 and earlier servers or server blades) 128
