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. By default, the oldest ROM version is updated.

This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.

If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support enables

data recovery.

Online ROM Flash Utility

Online ROM Flash enables Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 operating

system administrators to efficiently upgrade and manage system and array controller

ROMs. This tool includes the following features:

• Works offline and online

• Integrates with other HP software maintenance, deployment, and

operating system tools

• Automatically checks for hardware, firmware, and operating system

dependencies, and installs only the correct ROM upgrades required by each

target server
