Running Options ROMPaq

Options ROMPaq updates the firmware on Compaq options. Since it is difficult to determine when to update the firmware, Compaq recommends that you run the latest Options ROMPaq on all Smart Array 3200 Controllers whenever new versions are released.

The Smart Array 3200 Controller firmware version on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD has already been installed; you do not need to update immediately. However, if you have older Smart Array 3200 Controllers or other Compaq options (such as drives), create the Options ROMPaq diskettes and make sure the firmware on these options is the latest version.

To run Options ROMPaq:

1.Place the Options ROMPaq diskette 1 in the server diskette drive.

2.Boot the server by turning on the power.

3.Press Enter at the Welcome screen.

4.At the Select A Device screen, select:

ALL COMPAQ Smart Array 3200 Controller(s) from the list of programmable devices. Press Enter.
