Enabling ROMPaq Disaster Recovery Mode
A corrupted system ROM requires you to recreate the ROM BIOS by using
the ROM flash utility. This can be accomplished only when the system is in
disaster recovery mode. Set configuration switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 on the system
maintenance switch block to On to enable disaster mode.
IMPORTANT: Before enabling ROMPaq disaster recovery mode, refer to the Compaq
Servers Troubleshooting Guide for complete instructions on disaster recovery.
