1.If this Deployment Settings package might be used to reprovision a server already in use, consider whether to reset the server to its default settings before applying the settings in the Deployment Settings package. For stability reasons, the Standard Boot Order and the PCI Device enable/disable settings are not cleared.

If you choose to keep the existing settings, the settings in the Deployment Settings package that differ from the existing settings are used to modify the existing settings.

2.Select the power management package to use. These packages set a basic policy for performance versus power usage without having to configure individual settings through RBSU or UEFI System Utilities menus.

A recommended package is displayed, but to change the settings, the options include:

•Balanced Power and Performance

•Minimum Power Usage

•Maximum Performance

For more information about these options, see Quick Configs.

3.Select the boot order.

4.Choose whether to enable SATA devices when they are available.

5.Choose whether to install a Virtual Install Disk (VID) that contains drivers from HP.

When VID is enabled, during the OS installation process, a USB mass-storage device appears with the name of VID. This drive contains a limited set of storage and networking drivers, so any required SAS/iSCSI/FCoE adapter can be loaded, in the event that the OS disc does not have the appropriate drivers. For more information about how to load additional drivers, see the OS installation guide.

To disable VID at a later time,

a. Reboot the server and press F9 during POST to access RBSU or UEFI System Utilities.

•In the RBSU, navigate to Advanced Options→Advanced System ROM Options→Virtual Install Disk.

•In the UEFI System Utilities, navigate to System Configuration→ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)→Advanced Options→Advanced System ROM Options→Virtual Install Disk.
