Server Configuration and Utilities
1.
Create a new ROMPaq diskette by downloading the latest ROMPaq utility from
www.hp.com
.
IMPORTANT:
If the ROM is corrupted by a ROMPaq interruption, the initial ROMPaq attempt
may have affected the contents of the original diskette.
2.
Power down the server.
3.
Insert the ROMPaq diskette.
4.
Power up the server.
The server generates one long beep and two short beeps to indicate that disaster
recovery mode is active. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are inactive.
The server analyzes the diskette, searching for the latest ROM image. If the
diskette is not in place, the system continues to beep until a valid ROMPaq
diskette is inserted.
The ROMPaq diskette then flashes both system ROM images.
At the successful completion of this process, a sequence of ascending audible
beeps (tone) is generated. If the flash is not successful, a sequence of descending
audible beeps is generated.
5.
After successful completion of this process:
a.
Power down the server.
b.
Remove the ROMPaq diskette.
c.
Power up the server as usual.
If the ROMPaq upgrade procedure was unsuccessful, power down the server and
repeat the above process.
ROMPaq
Using flash ROM in HP servers allows the firmware (BIOS) to be upgraded with
system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette
into the diskette drive, power down the system, and then power up the system again.
