Running Options ROMPaq

Options ROMPaq is used to update the firmware on Compaq options. Use
Options ROMPaq to update the capabilities of the Smart Array 221 Controller
and drives whenever an updated version is available in the future. Since it is
difficult to determine when to update the firmware, Compaq recommends that
you keep current with the latest revisions, which can be found on the compaq
website.
The Smart Array 221 Controller firmware version included on the Compaq
SmartStart and Support Software CD has already been installed on that
controller, so you do not need to update immediately. However, if you have
older Smart Array 221 Controllers or other Compaq options such as drives, you
may want to create the Options ROMPaq diskettes and check that the firmware
on these options are at the latest revision.

CAUTION: Do not interrupt this cycle. Interrupting the ROM
