Rompaq Disaster Recovery - HP ProLiant DL580 Setup And Installation Manual

ROMPaq Disaster Recovery

A corrupted system ROM requires that you recreate the ROM BIOS by a process
called disaster recovery. This operation can be accomplished only when the system is
in disaster recovery (emergency repair boot) mode. When both system ROMs are
corrupt, the system defaults into disaster recovery mode automatically and the server
emits two extended beeps.
IMPORTANT: Before performing this operation, refer to the HP Servers Troubleshooting
Guide for complete instructions on disaster recovery.
To perform ROMPaq disaster recovery:
1. Power down the server. Refer to Chapter 5, "Installing Hardware Options."
2. Extend the server from the rack. Refer to Chapter 5, "Installing Hardware
Options."
3. Remove the rear access panel. Refer to Chapter 5, "Installing Hardware
Options."
4. Set system maintenance switches 2 and 6 to the "on" position. For the location of
these switches, refer to Appendix E, "System LEDs and Switches."
5. Power up the server. After the system powers on, it repeatedly emits two long
beeps. Refer to Chapter 9, "Server Setup."
6. Power down the server again. If necessary, perform a forced shutdown by
pressing the power button for 4 seconds.
7. Set system maintenance switches 2 and 6 back to the default position (off).
8. Replace the access panels. Refer to Chapter 5, "Installing Hardware Options."
9. Restore the server in the rack. Refer to Chapter 5, "Installing Hardware Options."
10. Power up the system.
11. Insert a ROMPaq diskette with the latest system ROM that you have downloaded
by following the support link on the product page at
IMPORTANT: The ROMPaq will flash both sides of the redundant ROM. This process
may take up to 10 minutes.
