according to manual HP Prolient Essential - Instalation Guide, I should press F9 during POST to get to bios settings.

It is not working

I am trying to shut off hyper-threading

Try F10 instead.
From the document at this link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00191707/c00191707.pdf

It says:
HP ProLiant Generation 2 and later servers have a configuration utility embedded in the system ROM. The configuration utility, RBSU, starts when you press the F9 key ... pressing the F10 key for previous ProLiant servers.

I tried it (F10) it says SmartArray not installed or something like this,


Also tried F2, delete, esc
:-(

I seem to remember that the G1s had a system partition instead of a Rom setup utility. I'll have to double check that though.

I found an answer here:

If you look at Table one and the column ROM Based setup utility, you'll notice
that the DL580 has a "No". What it uses is the old The Compaq System Partition.
So your hard drive must be partitioned using an operating system and either
the system partition was never created using smart start or it was erased at some point.

Thank you very much for all help

I found old comapq samrt setup 5.5 cd - it allows to change the bios settings, I see processors etc...
