Upgrading the System ROM using the ROMPaq Utility

Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option
ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the system BIOS:
1. Download the latest version of the system BIOS for the server onto a diskette.
The latest system BIOS is available at
www.hp.com/servers/proliant/manage
2. Insert the ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Power up the system.
The ROMPaq Utility checks the system and provides a choice, if more than one
exists, of available ROM revisions. By default, the image that is marked as the
backup is overwritten. This procedure is the same for both system and option
ROMPaq utilities.
If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support enables
data recovery.

Remote ROM Flash

Smart Components for Remote ROM Flash enables Microsoft Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, and Novell Netware operating system administrators to upgrade the
firmware (BIOS) on a server from a remote location.
To update your ROM from a remote location, download the Online Flash Utility
from the website:
www.hp.com/servers/proliant/manage
The Remote ROM Flash utility automatically checks for hardware, firmware, and
operating system dependencies, and installs only the correct ROM upgrades required
by each target server.
If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support enables
data recovery.
