Redundant ROM Support ProLiant BL e-Class server blades enable you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server blade has a 2-MB ROM that acts as two separate 1-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version. When the server blade boots, it identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the server blade boots from the backup ROM and alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt. 4-6 HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Setup and Installation Guide

Redundant ROM Support
ProLiant BL e-Class server blades enable you to upgrade or configure the ROM
safely with redundant ROM support. The server blade has a 2-MB ROM that acts as
two separate 1-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM
contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains
a backup version.
When the server blade boots, it identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt.
If a corrupt ROM is detected, the server blade boots from the backup ROM and alerts
you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt.
