RocketRAID 2644X4 BIOS Utility

5 - BIOS – Additional Settings

The RocketRAID host adapter’s BIOS utility has several other configurable settings

that can be accessed when flashing the BIOS.

Using the hptflash.exe utility (from within a Windows operating system):

Click on the “Configure” button from the main interface window.

The following window will appear:

3-7

2. If you are booting from a CD image, you will need to add these files to the CD.

Insert the boot image media into the appropriate drive, and boot the system.

3. Once the A:\> prompt has appeared, insert the media that contains the required

BIOS files, and type the following command:

load xxx.xxx

Then, press enter.

Note: xxx.xxx = the name of the BIOS image file (type it exactly as it appears).

4. The utility will scan for the controller, and ask if you want to backup the BIOS

(save a copy of the current BIOS to a floppy diskette). This is optional - you can

answer No, and continue.

Note: This option will not function if the system was booted from CD.

5. The utility will then ask if you want to flash the controller (upgrade the BIOS).

Select Y for yes.

6. The utility will display a progress bar during the flash procedure, then will attempt

verify the update.

7. Once complete, the system can be rebooted.
