ROMPaq Diskettes
The ROMPaq utilities must be run from diskette(s). The latest version of the
ROMPaq diskettes may be created from the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD that was supplied in the Smart Array 431 Controller Option Kit.
We recommend that you initially use this version of ROMPaq because it
supports your new Smart Array 431 Controller.
Materials Needed
You will need the following items to create ROMPaq utility diskette(s):
■ Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD (supplied in the Smart
Array 431 Controller Option Kit)
■ Three to five blank diskettes (for System ROMPaq) or 10-15 blank
diskettes (for Options ROMPaq)
■ Access to a server or workstation with a bootable CD-ROM drive. This
may be the system in which you are installing the Smart Array 431
Controller.
