NOTE: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA does not

To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration process, press the F8 key when
prompted.
To change any default settings in the auto-configuration process (such as the settings operating system
and primary boot controller), execute RBSU by pressing the F10 key when prompted. After the settings are
selected, exit RBSU and allow the server to reboot automatically.
For more information on RBSU, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD
or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation
).
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:
• Access RBSU 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.
For more information about BIOS Serial Console, see the BIOS Serial Console User Guide on the
Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation
).
