Updating the System Firmware
To update the system firmware, the System ROMPaq utility is used.
NOTE: This utility is not to be confused with the Options ROMPaq utility (refer to Chapter 5),
which is used to update the firmware on server options and SCSI drives.
This utility has two main sources:
• The SmartStart CD that is either shipped with your server or available directly
from HP
• The downloadable SoftPaq file on the HP website
If your server has a bootable CD-ROM drive, you can run System ROMPaq directly
from the CD. Otherwise, you must run System ROMPaq from a diskette created from
either the CD or from the SoftPaq file.
IMPORTANT: Compare the version numbers of the System ROMPaq utility from these two
sources. If the CD version is older, use the SoftPaq file instead.
Running System ROMPaq from the CD
1. Boot the server from the SmartStart CD.
2. On the System Utilities screen, select Run ROMPaq.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts and instructions to reprogram your system ROM.
