System Configuration History Files

The System Configuration History Files, part of the ART feature, allow you to review
modifications to the system configuration.
If a change has been made to the configuration file, the System Configuration Utility will keep a
history of the system configuration file. The System Configuration Utility stores the three most
recent configurations.
The most recent configuration of the System Configuration History Log can be displayed and
printed using the Inspect Utility. All three versions can be printed for historical purposes or
reinstalled through the Maintain Configuration Utility feature of the System Configuration Utility.

ROMPaq

The use of flash ROM in the Compaq ProLiant and in certain options controllers allows the
firmware (BIOS) to be upgraded with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the ROM,
insert the ROMPaq diskette into drive A and cold boot the system. The ROMPaq utility will then
check the system and provide a choice (if more than one exists) of ROM revisions that the system
can be upgraded to. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
CAUTION: Do not turn the power off during a firmware upgrade. A loss of
power during upgrade may corrupt the upgrade.
