Firmware updates
Firmware is software that is stored in Read-Only Memory (ROM). Firmware is responsible for the behavior
of the system when it is first switched on and for passing control of the server to the operating system.
When referring to the firmware on the system board of the server, it is called the System ROM or the
BIOS. When referring to the firmware on another piece of hardware configured in the server, it is called
Option ROM. These systems have hard drives and Smart Array Controller options that have firmware
that can be updated.
It is important to update the firmware (also called “flashing the ROM”) as part of regular server
maintenance. In addition, checking for specific firmware updates in between regular updates helps to
keep the server performing optimally. HP recommends checking for a firmware update before sending a
part back to HP for replacement.
