Boot Options

After the auto-configuration process completes, or after the server reboots upon exit
from RBSU, the POST sequence runs, and then the boot option screen is displayed.
This screen is visible for several seconds before the system attempts to boot from a
diskette, CD, or hard drive. During this time, the menu on the screen allows you to
install an operating system or make changes to the server configuration in RBSU.
For more information, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility Guide on the
Documentation CD.

Redundant ROM Support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM
support. The server has a 2-MB ROM that acts as two separate 1-MB ROMs. In the
standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program
version, while the other side of the ROM contains the backup version.

Safety and Security Benefits

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves
the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the existing ROM
version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the
previous ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the
ROM.

Access to Redundant ROM Settings

Use ROMPaq utilities to create a backup ROM image before upgrading the
configuration or to restore saved ROM data.
