where <infile> is the ROMPAQ firmware image file and <outfile> is the file name for the
uncompressed binary image file. For example:

ROMPAQ /D cpqq0801.D14 ldrImage.bin

ROMPAQ Firmware Upgrade Utility, Version 5.02 (R)

Copyright (c) Hewlett-Packard Corporation, 1994-2006

Input file: CPQQ0801.D14

Output file: LDRIMAGE.BIN

The load command is used to retrieve a binary image from a specific source location (specified as a URL)

and place it at the specified target address.
The load command can download and flash a firmware image file using TFTP from the specified location.
To flash the firmware using TFTP settings:

On a Windows® operating system:

a. Copy the BMC firmware into a directory on the server.
b. Run TFTP by launching the executable file tftpd32.exe.
c. Navigate to TFTP configuration>Settings, and set Timeout to 4 seconds and Max Retransmit to 10.
d. Enter the Base Directory and TFTP Server IP Address. Base Directory is the path where the BMC

firmware is residing. TFTP Server IP Address is the IP address of the TFTP server (for example,

10.141.38.157).

On a Linux operating system:

a. Navigate to Applications>Systems Settings>Server Settings>Services and make sure that TFTP and

xinetd are running.

b. Open the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and modify the parameter server_args to include -T

4000000. For example, server_args = -c -s /tftpboot -T 4000000.

c. While in this directory, to modify server parameters, type gedit.
d. Reset xinetd to allow it update. Open a terminal and type service xinetd restart. On non-RHEL Linux

platforms, open the Services menu and reset xinetd manually.

e. If a firewall is enabled, disable it or modify the settings to allow the firewall to connect to the TFTP

port. To change the firewall settings, navigate to Applications>System Settings>Security Level,
and enter 69:udp in the parameter of the other port.

f. Place the image file in the tftpboot folder, which is in the TFTP servers root directory.

To update the firmware, log in to LO100 as the administrator through the CLP interface, and issue the
load command to upload and install the firmware from the map1/firmware directory.

1.

Start a CLP session. To access CLP:

a. Navigate to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt.
b. At the command prompt, enter telnet <IP address>.

2.

At the CLP prompt, enter cd map1/firmware.

3.

At the CLP prompt, enter load -source <URI> -oemhpfiletype csr

where:

o

<URI>

is the //<tftpserver IP>/<filename> to be downloaded.
