ROMPaq

SmartStart Software

Using flash ROM in Compaq servers allows the firmware (BIOS) to be
upgraded with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS,
insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive, remove power from the
system, and then power up the system again.
NOTE: See "SmartStart Diskette Builder" later in this chapter for instructions on creating
a ROMPaq diskette.
The ROMPaq utility then checks the system and provides a choice (if more
than one exists) of ROM revisions to which the system can be upgraded. This
procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
CAUTION: Do not power down during a firmware upgrade. A loss of power
during upgrade may corrupt the firmware and prevent the system from starting.
The SmartStart for Servers CD is used to load the system software, thereby
achieving a well-integrated server and ensuring maximum dependability and
supportability. The SmartStart CD contains diagnostic utilities and ROMPaq
tools.
To install the SmartStart CD, press the F9 key to run RBSU and configure the
primary operating system. Next, follow these steps:
1. Locate the SmartStart CD in the Server Setup and Management pack.
2. After you power up the server, press the CD-ROM drive eject button.
3. Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive with the labeled side
up. Handle the CD by its edges, not by the flat surfaces of the disc.
4. When the busy indicator turns green, the SmartStart sequence begins.
Refer to the SmartStart documentation included with your server to
install the operating system, create updated driver diskettes, and run
upgrade utilities.
