Troubleshooting 101
ROMPaq Disaster Recovery
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, perform
ROMPaq disaster recovery procedures:
1. Create a ROMPaq diskette using the Autorun Menu on the SmartStart CD.
2. Power down the server.
3. Insert the ROMPaq diskette.
4. Power up the server ("Powering Up the Server" on page 21 ).
a. The server generates one long beep and two short beeps to indicate that
you are in disaster recovery mode. If the diskette is not in place, the
system continues to beep until a valid ROMPaq diskette is inserted.
b. The ROMPaq diskette flashes both system ROM images. If successful, a
sequence of ascending audible beeps is generated. If unsuccessful, a
sequence of descending audible beeps is generated and you need to
repeat the disaster recovery process.
5. Power down the server.
6. Remove the ROMPaq diskette.
7. Power up the server ("Powering Up the Server" on page 21 ).
Manual Recovery

1. Power down the server.
2. Remove the access panel ("Removing the Access Panel" on page 22 ).
3. Set positions 1, 4, 5, and 6 of the system maintenance switch to On.
4. Insert a ROMPaq diskette with the latest system ROM from the SmartStart
CD or the HP website (( http://www.hp.com/support ).
5. Install the access panel ("Removing the Access Panel" on page 22 ).
6. Power up the server ("Powering Up the Server" on page 21 ).
