ROMPaq Utility

Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option
ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the
diskette drive and boot the system.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one
exists) of available ROM revisions. This procedure is the same for both system
and option ROMPaq utilities.
For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/manage).
To flash the ROM using ROMPaq:
1. Download the system ROMPaq utility diskette for each target server or
option for which a ROM flash is planned. ROMPaq downloads are available
on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).
2. Shut down each server where the system or option ROM images are to be
upgraded and reboot using the correct ROMPaq diskette for that server.
3. Follow the interactive session in the ROMPaq utility, which enables you to
select the devices to be flashed.
4. After the ROMPaq utility flashes the ROM for the selected devices, cycle
power manually to reboot the system back into the operating system.
