AbstractAbstract
This guide details how to access and use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that is embedded in the system ROM of all HPE
ProLiant Gen10 servers, Proliant Gen10 Plus servers, and HPE Synergy compute modules. It details how to access and use both UEFI and
Legacy BIOS options provided in BIOS Platform Configuration menus that were formerly known as the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). All
options and available responses are defined. This document is for the person who installs, administers, and troubleshoots servers and storage
systems.

UEFI System UtilitiesUEFI System Utilities
The UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. Its features enable you to perform a wide range of configuration activities,
including:
Configuring system devices and installed options.
Enabling and disabling system features.
Displaying system information.
Selecting the primary boot controller or partition.
Configuring memory options.
Launching other preboot environments.
HPE servers with UEFI can provide:
Support for boot partitions larger than 2.2 TB. Such configurations could previously only be used for boot drives when using RAID
solutions.
Secure Boot that enables the system firmware, option card firmware, operating systems, and software collaborate to enhance
platform security.
UEFI Graphical User Interface (GUI)
An Embedded UEFI Shell that provides a preboot environment for running scripts and tools.
Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM.
UEFI System Utilities 14

What is UEFI?What is UEFI?
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) defines the interface between the operating system and platform firmware during the boot
or start-up process. Compared to BIOS, UEFI supports advanced pre-boot user interfaces. The UEFI network stack enables
implementation on a richer network-based OS deployment environment while still supporting traditional PXE deployments. UEFI
supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. In addition, features such as Secure Boot enable platform vendors to implement an OS-agnostic
approach to securing systems in the pre-boot environment.
The ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) functionality is available from the UEFI interface along with additional configuration options.

Launching the System UtilitiesLaunching the System Utilities
ProcedureProcedure
1. Optional: If you access the server remotely, start an iLO remote console session.
a. Open a browser and enter https://<iLO host name or IP address> to log on to the iLO web interface.
b. On the login page, enter a directory or local user account name and password, and then click Log In.
c. Select Remote Console & Media in the iLO navigation tree.
The Launch tab is displayed.
d. Verify that your system meets the requirements for using the remote console application you want to use.
e. Click the launch button for your selected application.
You can also launch an iLO Remote Console session by selecting:
The Integrated Remote Console link on the Information - iLO Overview page.
The Console thumbnail in the low left corner of the iLO web interface, and then choosing the application type to launch.
2. Restart or power on the server.
The server restarts and the POST screen appears.
3. Press F9.
The System Utilities screen appears.
NOTE:NOTE:
Using System Utilities requires BIOS administrator authorization. If the BIOS administrator requires a password, the
server prompts for the password to be entered prior to launching the System Utilities. For information on setting
the administrator password, see Server Security optionsServer Security options .
