Server Configuration and Utilities
ROMPaq
Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option
ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette
drive and boot the system.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one
exists) of available ROM revisions. This procedure is the same for both system and
option ROMPaq utilities.
CAUTION:
Do not power down during a firmware upgrade. A loss of power during
upgrade may corrupt the firmware and prevent the server from starting.
For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website

).
