System maintenance menu

The System Maintenance Menu is a new utility that replaces the legacy system-partition functionality supported on some ProLiant servers. This utility is embedded in the system ROM and provides access to server diagnostics, RBSU, and the Inspect Utility.

To access the System Maintenance Menu, press the F10 key when prompted from the boot option screen.

From the menu, you can select from the following utilities that are embedded in the system ROM:

• The ROM-Based Setup Utility performs a wide range of configuration activities, including configuring system devices and selecting operating systems and boot controllers.
• The ROM-Based Inspect Utility enables you to view system configuration information and save the information to a file on a diskette.
• The ROM-Based Diagnostic Utility provides a preboot method for quickly checking the validity of the three major sub-systems of the server (memory, CPU, and boot disk) needed to boot an operating system.

For more information on the System Maintenance Menu, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD.
