To flash the ROM using ROMPaq:

Download the system ROMPaq utility diskette or USB drive key for each target server. ROMPaq
downloads are available on the HP website (

).

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.

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