Rompaq Disaster Recovery Mode - HP ProLiant ML370 Maintenance And Service Manual

ROMPaq Disaster Recovery Mode

A corrupted system ROM requires that you recreate the ROM BIOS by flashing the ROM.
This operation can be accomplished only when the system is in disaster recovery (emergency
repair boot) mode. If both sides of the redundant ROM are corrupted, the system
automatically enters the disaster recovery mode and the server emits three extended beeps.
To perform ROMPaq disaster recovery:
1. After hearing the three beeps, insert a ROMPaq diskette with the latest system ROM
from SmartStart.
IMPORTANT: The ROMPaq flashes both sides of the redundant ROM. This process may take up
to ten minutes.
2. Wait until the server emits three rising beeps, indicating the completion of the ROM flash
process.
3. Restart the system.
