Running System ROMPaq
System ROMPaq is used to update the firmware in Compaq servers. The
SMART-2DH Controller has enhanced drive array capabilities; many existing
servers may not be able to take advantage of these capabilities without
updated firmware. Since it is difficult to determine when the firmware needs
to be updated, Compaq recommends that you run the latest System ROMPaq
on all servers when installing a new SMART-2DH Controller. If you
purchased your server with the SMART-2DH Controller already installed, you
do not need to run System ROMPaq at the time of server installation.
CAUTION:
If you are replacing an existing array controller,
such as the Compaq SMART Array Controller, with the SMART-
2DH Controller, the system may not boot after hardware
installation. It may not boot if the old array controller was the
primary controller containing the boot disk.
To avoid this problem when replacing an existing array controller
with a SMART-2DH Controller you should run System ROMPaq
before
you make the hardware installation. This will ensure that
the server will recognize the SMART-2DH Controller and not hang
up on boot.
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
