For more information about using RBSU, see the ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide or the server user
guide. These documents are both available on the Documentation CD supplied in the server kit.
UEFI Boot Mode boot options
On servers operating in UEFI Boot Mode, the boot controller and boot order are set automatically.
Press the Power On/Standby button.

To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press the F9 key in the ProLiant POST
o
screen to enter the UEFI System Utilities screen. By default, the System Utilities menus are in the
English language.
If you do not need to modify the server configuration and are ready to install the system software,
o
press the F10 key to access Intelligent Provisioning.
For more information on automatic configuration, see the UEFI documentation on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/enterprise/docs).
Configuring an array
To configure an array on an Smart Array controller, use HPE SSA. For more information, see the HPE
Smart Storage Administrator User Guide.
Remember the following factors when you build an array:
•
All drives grouped in a logical drive must be of the same type (for example, either all SAS or all SATA
and either all hard drives or all solid state drives).
•
For the most efficient use of drive space, all drives within an array should have approximately the
same capacity. Each configuration utility treats every physical drive in an array as if it has the same
capacity as the smallest drive in the array. Any excess capacity of a particular drive cannot be used
in the array and so is unavailable for data storage.
•
The more physical drives that there are in an array, the greater the probability that the array will
experience a drive failure during any given period.
•
To guard against the data loss that occurs when a drive fails, configure all logical drives in an array
with a suitable fault-tolerance (RAID) method.
System maintenance tools
Updating firmware
Server and controller firmware should be updated before using the controller for the first time, unless any
installed software or components require an older version. For system software and firmware updates,
download the SPP from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/spp/docs).
Installing device drivers
IMPORTANT: Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise now distributes drivers and other support software for servers and server
blades through Service Pack for ProLiant, or SPP, which you can download from the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download). Be sure to use the latest SPP version for
the server or server blade.
