During the flash process, the ROMPaq driver will automatically detect which
system ROM is inactive and flash that system ROM with the image obtained
from the ROMPaq diskette. Once the flash process is completed the server
now contains a fully redundant system ROM.
NOTE: If you are familiar with the process of flashing a Compaq server via the ROMPaq
utility there are no noticeable changes to the ROMPaq user interface. This feature is
implemented in the ROMPaq driver and the system boot block only. User configuration of
this feature is not required.
