Server Configuration and Utilities Safety and Security Benefits When the user flashes the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling the user to switch easily to the existing ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the previous ROM version, even if a power failure occurs while flashing the ROM. Access to Redundant ROM Settings To switch between ROM images: 1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted at startup. 2. Select Redundant ROM in the Advanced Options menu of RBSU. 3. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM. 4. Press the Enter key. 5. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu or press the F10 key to exit RBSU. 6. 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 the user through Power-On Self Test (POST) that the ROM bank is corrupt. Switching ROM images, in the event that the RBSU is inaccessible, can also be done by changing the switch settings on the system configuration switch. Refer to Appendix E, "LEDs, Switches, and Jumpers," for instructions. Disaster Recovery If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt: 1. Create a new ROMPaq diskette by downloading the latest ROMPaq utility from www.hp.com. IMPORTANT: If the ROM is corrupted by a ROMPaq interruption, the initial ROMPaq attempt may have affected the contents of the original diskette. 4-2 HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 Server Setup and Installation Guide

Safety and Security Benefits
When the user flashes the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and
saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling the user to switch easily to the existing
ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature
protects the previous ROM version, even if a power failure occurs while flashing
the ROM.
Access to Redundant ROM Settings

1.
Access RBSU by pressing the
F9
key when prompted at startup.

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

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 the user through Power-On Self Test (POST) that the ROM bank is corrupt.
Switching ROM images, in the event that the RBSU is inaccessible, can also be done
by changing the switch settings on the system configuration switch. Refer to
Appendix E, “LEDs, Switches, and Jumpers,” for instructions.
