ROMPaq Utility
Using Flash ROM in Compaq servers allows the firmware (BIOS) to be
upgraded with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS,
insert a ROMPaq diskette into drive A and power up the system.
The ROMPaq Utility then checks the system and provides a choice (if more
than one exists) of ROM revisions to which the system can be upgraded. This
procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
CAUTION: Do not power down during a firmware upgrade. A loss of power
during upgrade may corrupt the firmware and prevent the system from starting.
SmartStart and Support Software CD
The SmartStart and Support Software CD is used to load the system software,
thereby achieving a well-integrated server and ensuring maximum
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart CD contains diagnostic
utilities and ROMPaq tools.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the SmartStart and Support Software CD for loading system
software if you purchased your system with a factory-installed operating system. Refer to
the Compaq Factory-Installed Operating System Software User Guide for software
installation guidelines.
