To run System ROMPaq:
1. Place the System ROMPaq diskette in the server diskette drive.
2. Boot the server by turning on the power.
3. Press Enter at the Welcome screen.
4. At the Select A Device screen, select the server from the list of the
programmable devices. This may be the only item in the list. Press Enter.
5. At the Select An Image screen you will see:
Device to reprogram: your server
Current ROM revision: date of existing ROM version
Select Firmware Images: date of latest ROM version
Press Enter.
6. Review the information on the Caution screen:
Device to reprogram: your server
Current ROM revision: date of existing ROM version
Selected ROM revision: date of ROM version to be installed
Press Enter to reprogram the system ROM or Esc to discontinue
reprogramming and return to the Select An Image screen.
7. “Reprogramming Firmware” indicates that the system ROM is being
reprogrammed. DO NOT INTERRUPT.
IMPORTANT: Do not interrupt this cycle. Interrupting the ROM
reprogramming will leave the firmware in an unknown state. You may not be
able to boot the server if this happens. You will be notified when
reprogramming is complete.
8. When ROMPaq finishes reprogramming the system ROM, press Esc to
exit the System ROMPaq utility.
9. Remove the System ROMPaq diskette and reboot the server by cycling
the power (cold boot).
If you have not installed your new Smart Array 3200 Controller, install it now.
