Server Configuration and Utilities

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.
1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted at startup.
2. Select ROM Selection in the Advanced Options menu of RBSU.
3. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM.
4. Press the Enter key.
5. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu or press the F10 key to exit RBSU.
6. Restart the server.
When the server boots, it identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a
corrupt ROM is detected, the server boots from the backup ROM and alerts you
through POST that the ROM bank is corrupt.
Switching ROM images, in the event that RBSU is inaccessible, can also be done by
changing the switch settings on the system configuration switch. Refer to
Appendix E, "LED Indicators, Switches and Jumpers," for instructions.
