ROMPaq Utility
Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option
ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette
drive and boot the system.
The ROMPaq Utility checks the system and provides a choice, if more than one
exists, of available ROM revisions. By default, the oldest ROM version is updated.
This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support enables
data recovery.
