Running System ROMPaq
System ROMPaq is a utility that updates the firmware in Compaq servers
including the enhanced drive array capabilities available from the Integrated
Smart Array Controller. To update all devices and maximize the capabilities of
the controller, Compaq recommends that you run the latest System ROMPaq
when installing or upgrading your new Integrated Smart Array Controller. The
latest ROMPaq can also be downloaded from the Compaq website:
http://www.compaq.com
At the website, locate your software in the Support area.
If you purchased your server with the Integrated Smart Array Controller
already installed, you do not need to run System ROMPaq at the time of server
installation.
CAUTION: If you are upgrading from an existing Integrated Dual Channel Wide
Ultra2 SCSI Controller to the Integrated Smart Array Controller, you must back
up all data stored on hard drives before you make the upgrade. Installing the
Integrated Smart Array Controller destroys all stored data on existing drives.
Run System ROMPaq:
1. Use the power switch on the front of the server to turn off power and
place the system in Standby mode.
2. Place the System ROMPaq diskette that you created from the Compaq
SmartStart and Support Software CD in the server diskette drive.
3. Start the server from the power switch on the front of the server.
4. Press Enter at the Welcome screen.
