Accessing Redundant Rom Using The System Maintenance Switch; Flashing The System Rom - HP ML530 - ProLiant - 128 MB RAM Setup And Installation Manual

Server Configuration and Utilities
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server
automatically enters the ROMPaq disaster recovery mode. To perform this
procedure, see the "ROMPaq Disaster Recovery" section in Appendix E,
"Troubleshooting."

Accessing Redundant ROM Using the System Maintenance Switch

If your system does not boot, you can access the redundant ROM manually using the
system maintenance switch (SW4). To access the redundant ROM using SW4:
1. Power down the server. See "Powering Down the Server" in Chapter 3,
"Installing Hardware Options."
2. Set system maintenance switches 1, 5, and 6 to the "on" position. For the location
of these switches, see Appendix D, "System LEDs and Switches."
3. Power up the server. After the system powers on, it repeatedly emits two long
beeps.
4. Power down the server again. If necessary, perform a forced shutdown by
pressing the power button for four seconds.
5. Set system maintenance switches 1, 5, and 6 back to the default position (off).
6. Power up the system.
If the system still does not boot, see Appendix E, "Troubleshooting."

Flashing the System ROM

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the older ROM and saves the
current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the backup ROM version.
This feature protects your previous ROM version, even if you experience a power
failure while flashing the ROM.
There are two methods for flashing your ROM:
•
Upgrading the system ROM using the ROMPaq Utility
•
Remote ROM flash
