Re: Compaq Server

Taqi,
I assume you have DL380 G1 (first generation)
BIOS for this server (online update windows version)
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/20506.html
But if you problem only that you need press "F1" every time - see this thread
"ML370 needs to press F1 during booting"
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=888934
Same settings for your DL380 G1
P.S. I think right forum for such questions is "ProLiant servers (BL,ML,DL"

Re: Compaq Server

Hi All

I have gone through all the steps to disable F1 as below

Select "System Configuration" then "Configure Hardware". The various drivers and Plug and Play board screens will appear. After these have loaded completely choose "Review or modify hardware settings", then "View or edit details".

Go down to the Advanced Features section and you will see the "F1 Boot Prompt" entry.
which will probably say Enabled -Stop at Prompt. Move the cursor over this and hit enter. Change it to Disabled-Skip Prompt.

But I cant able to view F1 Boot Prompt


Please help me out

Thanks in Advance
