ROM-based enhancements 134
• Inspect Utility runs the embedded Inspect Utility
• Diagnostics Utility runs the embedded Diagnostics Utility (on page 135)
Setup Utility
Select Setup Utility from the System Maintenance menu to run the Setup Utility. Running Setup Utility exits
the System Maintenance menu and runs RBSU.
RBSU Erase Option
The RBSU Erase option allows you to erase the system configuration and boot drive. On versions of RBSU
without this new feature, the Erase Non-Volatile Memory option is available in the Advanced Options
menu of RBSU, allowing you to erase the system configuration by resetting the NVRAM to an initial,
factory state.
The new option, Erase NVRAM/Boot Disk, also erases the system configuration by resetting the NVRAM,
but erases the boot disk as well. The RBSU Erase option should only be used when you are redeploying a
server and are required to erase the NVRAM and boot drive to reinstall the operating system. If available
for the server, the Erase NVRAM/Boot Disk option is listed under the Advanced Options menu in RBSU.
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. HP recommends updating these
boot drivers to the latest version after the OS install to further optimize the system. The Virtual Install Disk
option is found under the Advanced Options ("Virtual Install Disk" on page 128) menu and can be
enabled or disabled in RBSU.
