4 Updating the System Firmware Before installing an array controller in a Compaq server, update the system firmware by running the System ROMPaqTM utility. NOTE: This utility is not to be confused with the Options ROMPaq utility (see Chapter 5), which is used to update the firmware on server options and SCSI drives. The System ROMPaq utility has two main sources: • The SmartStart and Support Software CD that is either shipped with your server or available directly from Compaq • The downloadable SoftPaqTM file on the Compaq website If your server has a bootable CD-ROM drive, you can run System ROMPaq directly from the CD. Otherwise, you must run System ROMPaq from a diskette created from either the CD or from the SoftPaq file. IMPORTANT: Compare the version numbers of the System ROMPaq utility from these two sources. If the CD version is older, use the SoftPaq file instead. If your system uses the System Configuration Utility (SCU), you may also need to update the system partition to complete the system update.
