Boot options
Near the end of the boot process, the boot options screen is displayed. This screen is visible for several
seconds before the system attempts to boot from a supported boot device. During this time, you can do
the following:
the following:
•
Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key.
•
Access the System Maintenance Menu (which enables you to launch ROM-based Diagnostics or
Inspect) by pressing the F10 key.
•
Force a PXE Network boot by pressing the F12 key.
BIOS Serial Console
BIOS Serial Console allows you to configure the serial port to view POST error messages and run RBSU
remotely through a serial connection to the server COM port. The server that you are remotely configuring
does not require a keyboard and mouse.

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.

•
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.
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
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/uncorrectable memory error are removed from
operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.
See the server-specific user guide for DIMM population requirements.

RAID Memory Mode—Provides protection levels similar to Mirrored Memory Mode, and it requires
less memory allocation than full redundancy.
