When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is
corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM
and alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt.
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server
automatically enters ROMPaq disaster recovery mode ("ROMPaq Disaster
Recovery" on page 139).
ROMPaq Utility
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.
For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website
