Redundant Rom Support; Switching To The Backup Rom Through The Rom-Based Setup Utility - HP ML530 - ProLiant - 128 MB RAM Setup And Installation Manual

Redundant ROM Support

The HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 server enables you to upgrade or configure
your ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a ROM image that
acts as two separate 1-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one section of the
ROM contains the most current ROM version, while the other section of the ROM
contains a previous version.
When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is
corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and
alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt.
There are two methods of accessing the redundant ROM:
•
Switching to the backup ROM through RBSU
•
Manually forcing to the backup ROM through the system maintenance
switch (SW4)
