Safety and security benefits

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves

the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the existing ROM

version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the

existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the

ROM.

Accessing redundant ROM settings

1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted during POST.

2. Select Advanced Options.

3. Select Redundant ROM.

4. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM.

5. Press the Enter key.

6. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu, or press the F10 key to exit RBSU.

7. Restart the server.

When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is

corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and

alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt.

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. By default, the oldest ROM version is updated.

This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.

If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support enables

data recovery.
