Accessing Redundant ROM using the System Maintenance Switch
If your system does not boot, you can access the redundant ROM manually using the
system maintenance switch (SW4). To access the redundant ROM using SW4:
1. Power down the server. Refer to “Powering Down the Server” in Chapter 3,
“Installing Hardware Options.”
2. Set system maintenance switches 1, 5, and 6 to the “on” position. For the location
of these switches, refer to Appendix D, “System LEDs and Switches.”
3. Power up the server. After the system powers on, it repeatedly emits two long
beeps.
4. Power down the server again. If necessary, perform a forced shutdown by
pressing the power button for four seconds.
5. Set system maintenance switches 1, 5, and 6 back to the default position (off).
6. Power up the system.
If the system still does not boot, refer to Appendix E, “Troubleshooting.”
Flashing the System ROM
When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the older ROM and saves the
current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the backup ROM version.
This feature protects your previous ROM version, even if you experience a power
failure while flashing the ROM.
There are two methods for flashing your ROM:
• Upgrading the system ROM using the ROMPaq Utility
• Remote ROM flash
