HPE ROM provides for essential initialization and validation of hardware components before control is
passed to the customer-installed operating system. The ROM also provides the capability of booting
from various fixed media (HDD, CD-ROM) and removable media (USB), to continue operation to the
operating system.
HPE ROM performs very early configuration of the video controller, to allow monitoring of initialization
progress via an attached monitor. If configuration or hardware errors are discovered during this early
phase of hardware initialization, suitable messages are now displayed on the connected monitor.
Additionally, these configuration or hardware errors are logged to the Integrated Management Log
(IML) to assist in diagnosis.
The Hewlett Packard Enterprise ProLiant ROM is used to configure the following:
Processor and chipset status registers
System memory, memory map, and memory initialization
System hardware configuration (Integrated PCI devices and optional PCIe cards).
Customer-specific BIOS configuration (using the HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
NOTE:

setup utility) user guide:
