ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time
after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies
you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR has restarted
the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or through RBSU.

ROMPaq Utility

Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option
ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the
diskette drive and boot the system.

The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one
exists) of available ROM revisions. This procedure is the same for both system
and option ROMPaq utilities.

For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website
