Upgrading the ROM BIOS
Since the BIOS is stored in ROM on the system board, the upgrade procedure is
different than the upgrade procedure for other software.
New versions of BIOS may be downloaded from the Compaq website at
http://www.compaq.com
. BIOS upgrades are called ROMPaq.
To upgrade your ROM BIOS, execute the ROMPaq software and follow the
directions.
Boot Block ROM
The Boot Block ROM cannot be upgraded.
For more information about Boot Block ROM, see the section “FailSafe Boot
Block ROM” in Chapter 3.
