Enabling ROMPaq Disaster Recovery Mode
A corrupted system ROM requires you to recreate the ROM BIOS by using the ROM
Flash Utility. This can be accomplished only when the system is in disaster recovery
mode. Set configuration switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 on the system maintenance switch
block to “on” to enable disaster mode.
IMPORTANT:
Before enabling ROMPaq disaster recovery mode, refer to the
HP Servers
Troubleshooting Guide
for complete instructions on disaster recovery.
