Redundant ROM Support
These servers enable the user to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant
ROM support. The server has a 2-MB ROM that acts as two separate 1-MB ROMs.
In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM
program version, while the other side of the ROM contains the backup version.
Safety and Security Benefits
When the user flashes the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and
saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling the user to switch easily to the existing
ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature
protects the previous ROM version, even if the user experiences a power failure
while flashing the ROM.
Access to Redundant ROM Settings
Use ROMPaq utilities to create a backup ROM image before upgrading the
configuration or to restore saved ROM data.
