Running Option ROMPaq

Option ROMPaq is used to update the firmware on Compaq options. Use
Option ROMPaq to update the capabilities of the SMART-2DH 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 run the latest Option ROMPaq on all SMART-2DH Controllers whenever
it becomes available.
