Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup
I have an ML530 G1 that has a piece of hardware not working correctly and so when I reboot the server it stops and asks to have the F1 key pressed to continue booting. I understand why it does that and for the sake of this thread, let's leave out talk about replacing the bad hardware.
I just want to disable that F1 prompt. The server was rebuilt without a utilities partition so pressing F10 doesn't do anything. I have booted from 2 SmartStart CDs as I've seen elsewhere that that is how to get to the setting to change it. I've tried ver 7.70 and ver 5.5 of SmartStart. The newer one is probably too new a version and it only displays info and gives no opportunity to change anything. Ver 5.5 does let you change things, but I went all through it multiple times, multiple boots, and didn't see anything anywhere in it that would let me disable this F1 prompt.
So just how can I disable this F1 prompt on my ML530 G1?

Re: Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup

I'll try to find more ...
Hope this helps!

Re: Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup
Behind the top window, called "POST F1 Prompt"
Hope this helps!

Re: Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup
better picture, taken from the old RBSU Manual (HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide )
Set it from enabled to delayed, the system will continue after 20 seconds.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup
Just how do you get to that screen? You can't get directly into the BIOS like you can on a PC and the SmartStart CDs I've tried certainly don't show anything like what you showed.

Re: Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup
As I stated not very clearly in my original message, I don't have the RBSU partition on this server, it was rebuilt from scratch without a SmartStart CD. So I can't go that route. Thanks anyway.

Re: Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup
The last link points to floppy disk images, maybe this can help?
Hope this helps!

Re: Trying to disable Press F1 key at bootup
I'll let you know. It's been so long since I used a floppy on it that I don't even know if the floppy drive still works. I had to replace the CD drive last year.
