To flash the ROM using ROMPaq:

1.Download the system ROMPaq utility diskette or USB drive key for each target server. ROMPaq downloads are available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).

2.Shut down each target server, and then reboot using the correct ROMPaq diskette or USB drive key for that server.

3.Follow the interactive session in the ROMPaq utility, and then select the devices to be flashed.

4.After the ROMPaq utility flashes the ROM for the selected devices, cycle power manually to reboot the system back into the operating system.

Option ROMPaqs have been retired as an upgrade delivery method for storage options. Firmware upgrades for storage options are now delivered using Smart Components and Smart Component deployment utilities.

For additional information about the ROMPaq utility, see the server documentation or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).

ROMPaq Disaster Recovery

If both the up-to-date and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, perform ROMPaq Disaster Recovery procedure:

1.On another server, download and save the ROMPaq image from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support) to a USB flash media device.

2.Execute the ROMPaq image to create the ROMPaq USB key.

3.Switch to the server with the corrupted ROM.

4.Power down the server (on page 6).

5.Insert the ROMPaq USB key.

6.Power up the server (on page 6).

7.Verify that the activity LED in the ROMPaq USB key is flashing. This indicates that BIOS has detected a valid ROMPaq image

8.The ROMPaq disk flashes both system ROM images.

If an audible beep is generated every four seconds, repeat the process from step 4 until BIOS successfully boots to the ROMPaq USB key.

Allow five minutes for the recovery procedure to be completed.

9.Power down the server (on page 6).

10.Remove the ROMPaq USB key.

11.Power up the server (on page 6).
