To configure specific devices, press D or d to launch the Device Manager. This is an advanced feature and should only be performed when directed. To perform maintenance on the system such as adding, deleting, or reordering boot options, press M or m to launch the Boot Maintenance Manager.
There are two options on how to load the OS if it is not loaded onto your server blade. To load the OS from a DVD, see the HP Integrity BL860c i4, BL870c i4 & BL890c i4 Server Blade User Service Guide.
Installing the latest firmware using HP Smart Update Manager The HP Smart Update Manager utility enables you to deploy firmware components from either an easy-to-use interface or a command line. It has an integrated hardware discovery engine that discovers the installed hardware and the current versions of firmware in use on target servers. This prevents extraneous network traffic by only sending the required components to the target.
