When the server powers on for the first time, it performs a POST. RBSU must then be
launched to configure the server. After selecting initial system settings, install the operating
system and perform additional configuration tasks. For additional information about
configuring the server with RBSU, refer to the ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide.
