When you replace a device in the server, you might have to either update the server with the latest version of
the firmware that is stored in memory on the device or restore the preexisting firmware from a diskette or
CD image.
Notes:
• The BIOS ROM file is stored in flash on the system board.
• The onboard SATA software RAID firmware is integrated into the BIOS ROM on the system board.
