Running Options ROMPaq
Options ROMPaq is used to update the firmware on Compaq options including
Integrated Smart Array Controller. Use this utility to update the controller and
drives whenever updated versions become available. Because it is difficult to
determine when to update the firmware, keep current with the latest revisions
through the Compaq website:
http://www.compaq.com
At the website, click Support and navigate the options for software.
The Integrated Smart Array Controller firmware version included on the
Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD has already been installed on
the controller, so you do not need to update it immediately. However, if you
use an older array controller or other Compaq options, you may want to create
the Options ROMPaq diskettes to ensure that your firmware is up-to-date.
Use the following procedure to run Options ROMPaq:
1. If the server is on, power down the server.
2. Place the Options ROMPaq diskette 1 into the server diskette drive.
3. Start the server by turning on the power from the power switch on the
front of the server.
4. Press Enter at the Welcome screen.
5. At the Select A Device screen, select Compaq Integrated Smart Array
Controller from the list of programmable devices.
6. Press Enter.
7. If the ROM firmware for the Integrated Smart Array Controller is older
than the firmware on the Options ROMPaq diskette, the Select An
Image screen displays:
Device to reprogram: COMPAQ Integrated Smart Array Controller
Current ROM revision: COMPAQ Integrated Smart Array Controller x.xx
Select Firmware Images: COMPAQ Integrated Smart Array Controller y.yy
8. Press Enter.
NOTE: If the ROM firmware for the Integrated Smart Array Controller is the same or
newer than the firmware on the Options ROMPaq diskette, you see the following
message: “The ROM image files found for the device selected are not older than the
current ROM image.”
Press Enter to accept and proceed to Step 9.
